The salmon in this dish is marinated in a tangerine-honey sauce, cooked in the oven and topped with a fresh tangerine, cilantro and avocado salsa!
I love the way the flavors from the salmon complement the flavors of the tangerine and avocado salsa. This dish is easy to make and really great for spring and summer. Light, simple, elegant and full of flavor. What else could you ask for in a dish?
Buen provecho!
