The only thing more Easter than this citrus-marinated side of salmon is probably the Easter Bunny themself! Pair this salmon dish with some of our favourite sides.

Lemon, orange, garlic and olives come together to make a beautifully bright, zingy marinade for a side of salmon! This dish is perfect for sharing with friends and family along with some of our favourite side dishes available on the Market Place (we've chosen the Crispy Tallow Smashed Potatoes and Jewelled Rocket Salad). For this salmon, we recommend using a whole side of salmon or larger fillets, this will give you plenty to serve 6-8 with side dishes. Alternatively, put this marinade recipe in your back pocket and use it the next time you have salmon fillets for a weeknight dinner.
