Ingredients

Citrus Salsa
  • 1 navel orange, peeled, inner skin removed and segmented
  • ½ avocado, diced
  • 1 tablespoon finely diced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped
  • Juice from ½ a lemon
  • Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Fresh pepper, to taste
Salmon
  • 2 (4-ounce) wild salmon fillets
Bok Choy
  • 3 heads bok choy, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons slivered almonds
  • Pinch crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Combine salsa ingredients in a small bowl. Stir to coat, cover and place in the fridge until ready to use.
  2. Preheat a non-stick pan on medium heat. Add salmon, flipping halfway through, until cooked. About 3 to 4 minutes per side. When you have about 1 minute left, add a spritz of lemon juice from your leftover squeezed lemon. Just a touch is all you need!
  3. Meanwhile, heat a second pan on medium heat and add bok choy. Cook until bright green and slightly wilted, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a plate and top with slivered almonds and red pepper flakes.
  4. Spoon salsa over fish to serve.
