What to serve with this Oven Roasted Citrus Salmon?
I promise you once you make this Oven Roasted Citrus Salmon, you will want to make it again immediately. What is great about this salmon, is that it can be on the table in under an hour, so it makes a perfect weeknight meal!
I have been super into the 90 second rice packets lately. The white basmati rice has been my obsession lately. I mean what is salmon without rice….right?? Or is it just me… The oven roasted salmon with rice and broccoli is a meal that will not disappoint. I think at one point in my life, salmon and rice was all I ate for a few years! I. Really. Love. Salmon.
I also have a recipe for a Brussel Sprout Slaw that is outstanding!!! It goes perfect with salmon! This recipe would work well on the grill too, if summer ever gets here!

I didn’t know what 16 mesh pepper was, until I used a recipe that called for it!! ! It is all I use now. It is a little bit denser of a pepper and the taste is outstanding. This is one of those things, once you try, you will never go back. For $10.00, take a chance and try it!
