Citrus and seafood always work well together, but this Gold Nugget Tangerine Glazed Salmon goes beyond the traditional lemon wedges served with fish and chips. Unlike many types of fish, rich salmon hardly shrinks when cooked and, when paired with the sweet citrus flavors of Gold Nugget Tangerines, this seafood favorite makes a sophisticated dinner indeed.
Pan searing provides texture and finishing this dish in the oven broiler with a sliced Gold Nugget Tangerine topping makes for a presentation that is pleasing to both the eye and the taste. Pair this with a fresh salad and your favorite warm bread and dinner is served.
Ingredients
- 2, ½-pound Salmon Filets, de-boned and skinned
