Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a shallow dish, whisk together 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons orange juice, 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Add 4 salmon fillets and marinate for 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
  2. Step 2: While salmon marinates, combine 2 diced roma tomatoes, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, and 1 minced jalapeño in a bowl. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove salmon from marinade and grill skin-side down for 5-6 minutes, then flip and grill for another 4-5 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Step 4: Serve the grilled salmon topped generously with the citrus-herb salsa.
