    Say goodbye to salmon leftovers with this delicious, nutritious, time-saving meal!

    Brighten up winter with in season citrus

    Comforting soups and stews are a great way to warm up over the fall and winter months, but as the dreary weather drags on I find myself craving something lighter and brighter.

    The most refreshing fruits are in season during the darkest and coldest time of the year and the perfect ingredient to turn to when longing for warmer days. This citrus salmon salad hints of spring while using the best in season winter produce.

    How to make Citrus Glazed Salmon Salad

    This seasoning/dressing method is my favorite! Saving half of the homemade marinade to be used later as the base to the salad dressing saves time and ensures the flavors are integrated throughout the entire dish. I also use this genius method in my Blueberry Grilled Chicken Quinoa Salad and my Easy Make-Ahead Sesame Chicken Salad.

    Ingredients
