I blogged this Grapefruit Glazed Salmon Taco recipe over on the Fannetastic Food blog today. The subject is omega 3 fats and why you should be eating them. As I mentioned yesterday, I plan to share more nutrition information in the new year. This post is a little taste.

But while you’re here, let me share the inspiration behind the recipe. If you didn’t know… I love tacos. I mean a 2-3 times a week kinda love. This recipe combines that love with seasonal fruit and one of the delicious goodies I got at Blog Brûlée in Vermont.

This Blake Hill Grapefruit and Lemon Marmalade could be a new pantry staple.

Atop the salmon and under the broiler, the marmalade caramelizes into a slightly sweet and tart glaze that can make anyone a fish lover. Of course, you don’t have to buy the Blake Hill marmalade.

But do get a good quality one. This marmalade is just like your grandma would make (maybe better). It has only fruit, sugar and lemon juice – no fillers, preservatives or icky chemicals. Definitely nutritionist approved.

Fresh grapefruit is in season now and the perfect pair with avocado in the salsa. Often overlooked, grapefruit is an excellent source of vitamin C and fiber and delicious paired with fish and avocado.

Now, dip on over to Anne’s blog to see Why You Should Be Eating Omega 3s and snag the easy recipe for my Grapefruit Glazed Salmon Tacos below.

    How in the world did I miss this recipe?! Thankfully I caught it on EA’s Cinco de Mayo recipe roundup. I still have that marmalade unopened in my pantry. Now I know what to make with it!!

      Jessica, That marmalade gave THE best flavor to the salmon. You’ll love it with or without the taco 🙂
