Citrus Salsa Recipes

Steps:

• Roast jalapeno over a gas flame or under a broiler until blackened. Let cool in a paper bag. Peel, seed, and cut jalapeno into quarter-inch pieces.
• Remove peel and pith from all citrus using a sharp paring knife. Place a strainer over medium bowl. Working over a medium bowl to catch the juice, carefully cut between membranes to remove segments. Squeeze remaining membrane to extract juice; reserve. Cut segments into 1/4-inch pieces; transfer to a separate bowl.
• Add onion to citrus. Halve tomatoes lengthwise, squeeze out seeds; cut into 1/4-inch pieces. Gradually add reserved peppers, tasting for heat. Stir in thyme and oil, adding reserved citrus juice if salsa is dry.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Using a small knife, remove the peel, pith and outer membrane of the grapefruit, tangerine and orange. Working over a bowl, slice each into segments; remove the seeds. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• In a food processor, pulse the pistachios and garlic salt until the mixture resembles small pebbles. Transfer to a shallow dish.
• Season both sides of the fish fillets with salt and pepper. Use a pastry brush to coat the top side of each piece of fish with the Dijon mustard. Gently press the mustard-coated side of the fillets into the pistachio mixture. Transfer them pistachio crusted-side up onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Transfer to a serving plate and top with the citrus salsa. Drizzle with olive oil and season with more salt and pepper before serving.

Steps:

• For the salsa: Peel and trim the ends from each orange. Using a paring knife, cut along the membrane on both sides of each segment. Free the segments and add them to a medium bowl. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, scallions, mint, capers, orange zest, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes. Toss lightly and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
• For the salmon: Put a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Brush the grilling rack with vegetable oil to keep the salmon from sticking. Brush the salmon on both sides with the agave nectar and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill until the fish flakes easily and is cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Transfer the salmon to a platter and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
• Spoon the salsa verde on top of the salmon or serve on the side as an accompaniment.

Steps:

• Peel, section and chop the grapefruit and orange; place in a medium bowl.
• Seed and dice the tomato, green pepper and jalapeno; add to the fruit.
• Dice the red onion and cilantro; add to the bowl.
• Add the sugar and salt to the the salsa ingredients.
• Stir to combine.
• Drain juice before serving.
• Serve with tortilla chips.
• Also good as a condiment with grilled chicken or pork.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except crackers.
• Serve immediately with the crackers. Or, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• The first step is to hollow out the peel of an orange.
• In a bowl, combine slices of Navel oranges, grapefruit and Cara Cara oranges.
• Then, add fresh lime juice and mix together.
• Once combined, add a scoop of the citrus salsa to the hollowed orange peel.
• Then, simply add some mint as a garnish and serve.
