Salmon Fillets With Orange-Raspberry Sauce Recipe

Orange zest and juice bring a bright, citrusy flavor to the marinade for these fresh salmon fillets – and as soon as the fish is off the grill, it gets another dose of flavor with some fresh raspberries added for extra sweetness and color.

And then plate up the whole thing on top of quickly-grilled orange slices: the char lines are visually dramatic on the flesh of the oranges, and you can eat them right up for extra flavor.

This might seem like a very summery dish, but actually, it would be totally in-season for the US right now: the peak season for Florida oranges starts in late fall and ends in the early spring.

The climate is so hot that the normal growing season gets completely flipped, and the “winter” is the most productive season because the summer is just too extreme. So if you want the best oranges, now’s the time to snap them up, and this is a great way to use them.

For vegetable sides, try this with some freshly sliced cucumbers, garlic green beans, or maybe potato salad. Any leftovers would also be great within a salad with spinach and dried cranberries (save the grilled oranges, too!).
