Asian Citrus Marinated Salmon, Low Fat image

The Asian-style marinade adds lots of extra flavor and uses both orange & lime juices. Prep time does not include 1-hour marinating time. This was published in our local newspaper and made for lunch today! You might enjoy boiling and thickening the marinade to use as a dipping sauce. I'm also publishing the sides that were suggested - Golden Jeweled Rice and (steamed asparagus with) Citrus Sauce.
