Recipes Salmon in citrus sauce This dish is out of the ordinary; Its exotic flavor gives a dynamic and unique touch to your dinner, as you can use orange, peach, mango or grapefruit. The ingredients are: 1.6 kg of salmon fillet, 2 cups of sesame seed, 1 cup of poppy seeds, 2 cups of polenta and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. For the sauce: 2 medium onions, the juice of 4 oranges, the juice of 2 lemons and 8 tablespoons of sugar. The preparation process consists of cutting the salmon into 8 fillets, seasoning with salt and pepper, as well as spreading sesame seeds, polenta and poppies on the salmon (only on the top). Subsequently, heat olive oil in a frying pan and cook the salmon on both sides until it turns golden brown. When removing, brown the very finely chopped onion right there, and add the citrus juices and sugar. Reduce the heat for 30 minutes and preheat the oven to 180ºC, and finally, bake the salmon for 10 minutes.

The preparation consists of heating 4 or 5 tablespoons of oil over low heat, and adding the two cloves of finely chopped garlic. Once they are golden, add the onion and a pinch of salt. When the onion is tender and transparent, add the mushrooms along with a pinch of ground black pepper and grated nutmeg to taste, sauté for a few minutes and add the milk, letting it boil gently for a few minutes.
