Blood Oranges are one of my favorite types of citrus, I love their colour and their sweet flavor. I like to serve them in salads and enjoy them in cocktails, but my favorite way to serve them is with fish. This roasted salmon recipe is a wonderful light meal for a spring lunch or an al-fresco dinner served alongside a mixed salad and quinoa. It also looks pretty fancy so it can defiantly be served to guests. Enjoy it with a chilled glass of Pinot Grigio and you are set!
