Cook's Notes

To segment an orange, slice off the stem and blossom ends. Following the fruit's curve, cut away the peel and white pith. Then, over a bowl, cut along the membranes to release the segments. Squeeze the membranes for extra juice.

This combo is magic. Don't leave out the olives though. Had a recipe for a side salad w/ the orange segments, olives, fennel and thinly sliced red onion. Dressing was the o.j., oil , s&p. Same idea and also delicious.

Fantastic tasting dish. I am sure the original recipe is great, but I did it a little differently. I kicked out the olives; none for me, thank you. Since I had peaches lying around; I substituted them for the oranges. I would recommend this recipe to all lovers of the mighty salmon.

Great dish with surprisingly pleasant flavours, given that neither my husband nor I are huge fans of olives. Will make again, but will not salt the dressing as the olives we buy in Kiev are a bit salty -- canned olives (try them before mixing the dressing). I will probably also include more fresh orange juice as the sweetness is what really enhances the flavour of the salmon!
