Instructions

METHOD:

1. 1. Preheat the broiler in your oven to high and set the oven rack about 15cm below it.
2. 2. Place the Salmon on a baking sheet. In a bowl stir together the Brown Sugar, Salt, Pepper, Garlic and Lemon Zest. Add the Olive Oil to make a wet rub. Rub the mixture all over the Salmon. Place the blood Orange slices on top.
3. 3. Broil the Salmon for 6 to 8 minutes or until just opaque and flakey with a fork. Drizzle with the Herb Butter and serve with the winter Citrus Salsa. I also like to eat this on a Salad with Feta or with a Brown Rice + quinoa blend!
4. 4. Stir together the Melted Butter, Fresh Herbs and Salt.
5. 5. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl until combined. This will last for about a day in a sealed container in the fridge.
