Simple Steps to Make It

1. Take the salmon out of the fridge and let it rest for 10 minutes.

3. Toss the salmon, fennel, and green beans with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

4. Place them on the tray and bake for around 20 minutes, until the salmon is nearly cooked through. For crispier skin, turn the salmon over and cook for another 10 to 15 minutes.

5. While it bakes, combine spinach, grapefruit, and blood orange to make a fresh citrus salad.

6. Arrange avocado slices on your plate, then add the citrus salad.

7. Add the salmon, fennel, and beans on top, squeeze over fresh lemon, and serve straight away.
