Rosemary Rum Orange Glazed Salmon With Orange Mango Rum Salsa

Mango salsa is so bright, fresh, full of citrus, spice, and protein substance from the black beans! It pairs deliciously over salmon for dinner or on top of a lime tortilla chip for a salty snack. 

 

Plain white rice rounds out a healthy meal.You could also make fish tacos with whole wheat tortillas or white, if you prefer.

 

This is a super simple glaze for the salmon. I try to eat wild salmon instead of farm raised for the extra omega fat benefit, but find that it’s drier and tastes a bit stronger.In this picture I drizzled a little olive oil and some fresh dill on it before baking. Very easy and dill is the perfect partner on salmon.

 

 

That’s all you need for farm raised but I prefer to dress the wild in a sauce or glaze. So I’m including a recipe for that.

 

Peach Riesling Salmon Over Pesto Pasta

I grew up in a seafood faring family. Tasted my first shrimp before I could walk. Spot and croaker fresh off the boat were monthly staples but I was probably in my late twenties, early thirties before I indulged in the rich, moist, delicate flesh of salmon.

 

I ordered it in a restaurant marinated, grilled, and presented over pasta in a lemon white wine sauce. I didn’t have as much of a culinary mindset then as I do now so this is a tribute to one of the primary salmon moments I remember with my own version of it served over pasta.
