    How to Make Ginger-Dill Salmon

    1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Salmon

    Preheat your oven to 325°F. Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel. Place the salmon on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper, and season it generously with kosher salt and black pepper.

    2. Create Dill-Ginger Mixture

    In a medium bowl, combine 6 tablespoons of finely chopped dill, a finely grated 2-inch piece of scrubbed ginger, and 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper, stirring until well incorporated.

    3. Spread Dill-Ginger Mixture on Salmon

    Spread half of the dill-ginger mixture evenly over the top of the salmon using a spoon or spatula.

    4. Bake Salmon

    Place the salmon in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. The salmon is done when it easily flakes with a fork or reaches an internal temperature of 120°F.

    5. Prepare Citrus Salad

    While the salmon is baking, prepare the citrus salad. Cut off the top and bottom of the grapefruit and oranges, then use a knife to peel away the skin and pith. Slice the fruit into half-moon shapes, removing any seeds. Squeeze any remaining juice from the peels into the bowl with the remaining dill-ginger mixture.

    6. Toss Citrus Salad

    In the same bowl, toss the citrus slices with the remaining dill-ginger mixture until well coated. Add the radish wedges to the bowl and season with a bit of salt.

    7. Assemble and Serve

    Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a moment. On individual plates, break the salmon into large pieces. Divide the citrus salad among the plates, adding slices of avocado to each serving. Season everything with a touch more salt and black pepper to taste, and drizzle with a bit of extra-virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.

    Variations

    Protein Variations

    Use chicken, pork, tofu, or tempeh as alternatives to salmon, adjusting cooking times and methods as necessary.

    Cooking Method Variations

    Grill for a smoky flavor or sauté for a quicker option, using different proteins and flavorings.

    Citrus Variations

    Pair different proteins with lemon and dill, orange and rosemary, or lime and cilantro for varied flavor profiles.

    Herb Variations

    Opt for basil and tomato for an Italian touch, or tarragon and mustard for a French influence.

    Marinades and Glazes

    Create a glaze with orange juice, honey, soy sauce, and ginger for a sweet and savory contrast.
