Pritikin Slow Roasted Citrus Fennel Salmon
This Pritikin Slow Roasted Citrus Fennel Salmon is not complicated, and always a rich and delicious meal. The healthiest animal food choices are omega-3-rich fish such as salmon, sardines, herring, mackerel, and trout, advises the Pritikin Eating Plan. Most other fish, plus shelled mollusks like clams and scallops, are healthy choices, too. Enjoy fish tonight with this yummy recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 medium Fennel thinly sliced
- 1 whole blood or navel orange very thinly sliced, seeds removed
- 1 whole Meyer or regular lemon very thinly sliced, seeds removed
- 1 whole jalapeno pepper small dice
- 6 sprigs Fresh Dill
- 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- 2 pound salmon fillet skinless
- 2 teaspoons Pritikin Fish Seasoning or other no-salt fish seasoning
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 275 degrees F. Lightly mist with oil spray the bottom of a shallow 3-quart baking dish (such as a 9- by 13-inch Pyrex dish).
- In the baking dish, toss together the first 5 ingredients (through dill). Season with black pepper.
- Season salmon with Pritikin Fish Seasoning and place on top of fennel mixture.
- Roast until salmon is just cooked through, about 30 to 40 minutes.
- Transfer salmon to a platter, breaking it into large pieces as you go. Don’t worry about perfect portions. Just keep in mind that one serving, whether made up of 1 or 2 pieces, is about the size of the palm of your hand.
- Spoon fennel/citrus mixture from baking dish over salmon pieces. Discard dill sprigs. If desired, season with more fish seasoning and black pepper. Top with a few fresh dill sprigs.
