I know that many of you are probably gearing up for a large family Holiday meal next weekend and I wanted to give you a really lovely idea for Easter that would work well whether you do a lunch or dinner, maybe even a brunch.

Grilled Salmon with Blood Orange Beet Relish

Grilled Salmon (one of my favorite things ever!!) is topped with a jaw droppingly gorgeous Beet Blood Orange Relish. Beets and Orange go so, so nicely together and this dish is what also inspired this cocktail.

While this is a beautiful dish for just a few people, you could grill a whole bunch of filets at once and then arrange them on a platter and top them all with the relish and serve extra on the side.

That awesome flavor that the grill gives the salmon (and the crispy delicious skin!) is wonderfully contrasted and complimented by the beets and blood orange and red onion. I also looooove the drizzle of balsamic glaze that I like to add- but it’s fantastic without as well. Enjoy!
