I saw this recipe, which is supposed to be made with nectarines & thought it looked like a yummy backyard dinner. Nectarines are not quite in season yet. So, I decided to try making the salsa with blood oranges. The flavors are very unusual...not like anything I've had before. But, I thought it was delicious. It would be perfect for fish tacos, or even grilled chicken.
My Bozos are super into salmon right now. So, they loved this meal. I skipped the coriander for them...I don't think they would have went for that.

Begin by peeling 5 blood oranges. Remove the segments, coarsely chop them & place into a mixing bowl.

Next, you will need 4 {5-6 ounce} wild salmon fillets. Here, I have bigger pieces...either way is fine.
Rub some olive oil onto the salmon.

Coarsely crack 1 1/2 teaspoons of whole coriander seeds. If you own one, you should use a mortar & pestle for this. But, I don't have one...so, I cracked them with the back of a spoon. Season the salmon with salt & pepper. Then, press the cracked coriander onto the fish.

Heat a grill to medium-high & brush the grates with oil. Cook the salmon, 4-5 minutes per side, or until just cooked through. Top with the salsa & serve.

Beautiful colors in the salsa and it looks so yummy - especially good over salmon, I bet.
