Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Four 5-to-6-ounce center-cut salmon fillets, skin-on, patted dry
2 teaspoons finely grated mixed citrus zest, such as orange and grapefruit
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tangelos or Cara Cara oranges
2 blood oranges
2 ruby red grapefruits
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 Hass avocado, pitted, peeled and sliced into wedges
1/2 cup chopped herbs, such as parsley or mint
2 scallions, thinly sliced

Steps:

Season the flesh side of the salmon with the citrus zest, thyme, salt and pepper.
Remove the skin and white pith from the tangelos, oranges and grapefruits with a sharp knife. Working over a large bowl, cut between the membranes of the grapefruits to release the sections into the bowl. Squeeze the membranes to extract the juice. Slice the tangelos and oranges into rounds and add them to the bowl.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil until shimmering. Add the salmon, skin-side down, and cook over medium heat, pressing gently with a fish spatula to flatten, until the skin is browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Flip the salmon and cook until medium, 1 to 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, add the avocado, herbs, scallions and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the large bowl with the citrus. Season with salt and pepper, then gently toss to mix. Serve the salad with the crispy salmon.
