Salmon

- Cover a small cookie sheet or pan with parchment paper.

Notes
Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips
- Salmon often has small bones under the flesh. Lightly press down on the top of the filet, if you feel any bones, just pull them out with your fingertips.
- I'm not a big fan of salmon skin so I remove it with a very sharp knife before I cook the filets. You can also ask the fishmonger at your market to remove it for you.
- Buy equal-sized salmon filets so they will cook equally.
- If you cannot find blood oranges, simply use regular navel oranges.
