Alaska salmon is known for being fresh, flavorful, and nutritious. This citrus broiled recipe is a perfect way to enjoy its unique taste with the added brightness of oranges and green onions. Not only is this dish healthy, but it's also incredibly easy to make and yields little to no clean-up, making it a great weeknight dinner option. It's recommended to use wild Alaska salmon as it is more sustainable and contains fewer contaminants than farmed salmon.

Instructions

1.	Preheat broiler on high.
2.	Cut oranges into thin slices and divide onto 8 sheets of foil.
3.	Top each with a salmon fillet.
4.	Drizzle with red wine vinegar and sprinkle with chopped green onions and cracked black pepper.
5.	Seal the foil packets tightly.
6.	Broil for about 10 minutes.

PROS

This recipe is a flavorful and healthy way to enjoy salmon.

The citrus and green onion add a brightness to the dish while the salmon provides omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and minerals.

CONS

The foil packets can be a bit tricky to wrap tightly and may require some practice.

The broiling process can also be a bit intimidating for novice cooks, so be sure to keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which have been linked to lower inflammation and improved heart health.
The vitamin C found in oranges and red wine vinegar also helps with the absorption of iron found in the salmon.
