    Ingredients

    • 4 - 6 oz. portions of fresh or thawed frozen salmon
    • 2 T canola oil
    • salt & pepper
    • 1 bag spinach
    • 1 fresh lime
    • 1 fresh orange
    • Any and all fresh vegetables and herbs chopped for salad
    • Dressing:
    • lime zest and 1 T lime juice
    • orange zest and 1 t. orange juice
    • 1 cup Greek yogurt
    • 2 T olive oil
    • 2 T water
    • 3/4 t. salt
    • 1 t. sugar

    Directions

    1. Zest the lime and the orange and set zest aside. Remove white part of orange and slice out orange sections, chop and set aside. Squeeze the remaining orange pulp to produce the 1/4 cup and 1 teaspoon of orange juice. Squeeze the lime to produce the tablespoon of lime juice. In a small pan combine lime juice, orange juice, salt and sugar to dissolve. Mix all dressing ingredients and chill.
    2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 T canola oil. Salt and pepper both sides of the salmon portion. Sear both sides of the salmon. Add 1/4 cup orange juice to pan and cover until salmon is cooked through. Remove from heat. Salmon can be served warm, room temperature or cold.
    3. Mix your reserved chopped orange with the mixed greens and place on a plate. Top with a salmon portion and drizzle with the dressing.
