Orange and fennel salsa
This dish is perfect for pescatarians. A tasty mix of fresh fruit and vegetables from your local market goes well with pan-grilled rockfish or another lean protein of choice.
First, a reminder on how to easily remove the white pith from oranges — cut a little of the peel off the top and bottom of the orange so you can stand it up on a cutting board. Cut the peel off following the rounded contour repeating as you go all the way around the orange. Most of the pith will be gone. Cut off any remaining white bits.
