Quick and easy to make, this bright-orange relish is a perfect accompaniment to pan-seared salmon, but it's also great on grilled chicken cutlets or tossed into a salad with cooked grains and feta.

Ingredients

  • 2 oranges

  • ½ cup thinly sliced fennel

  • 12 chopped oil-cured olives

  • ¼ cup torn fresh mint leaves

  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

  1. Grate 1 teaspoon orange zest, then remove peel and pith from oranges. Holding fruit above a bowl, use a small paring knife to cut between membranes and remove segments. Squeeze 1 tablespoon juice from membranes into a bowl.

  2. Cut segments into bite-size pieces; add to bowl with fennel, olives, mint leaves, and oil. Season with salt and pepper; serve.
