This morning Scott and I are headed up to New York City for a night of celebration and, for me, a subsequent morning with some of my fellow blogger moms at BlogHer where we’ll be eating an amazing breakfast in a penthouse suite atop New York City, all sponsored and catered by Kelloggs.
I can hardly wait. One night with no child interruptions paired with a morning surrounded by amazing blogging women with an adult view of New York City as opposed to a view of my 17 month old’s morning diaper, is hardly something you’d ever hear me turn down. Not that I don’t love and cherish my children of course, but sometimes, even super moms need a night away.
I will take lots of pictures and be sure to share the experience with you all on Monday, but until then, enjoy this delicious, easy, family friendly meal. My kids tore this up. Nick couldn’t get enough of the fish and Alex and Andrew were coveting their salsa, wielding their silverware like a pitchfork any time someone tried to sneak a bit off their plate.
Last but certainly not least, don’t forget to drop your link at the bottom of the post for Family Friendly Friday! Feel free to throw anything up; a recipe, a vacation, a craft or an experience. It doesn’t matter so long as it’s family friendly. Have a great weekend; I know I will!
Ingredients Needed:
2 Mandarin Oranges, Chopped
2 Green Onions, Chopped
1/8 Cup of Olive Oil
1/2 of a Lime, Juiced
2 Tbsp of Maple Sugar
1 Tbsp of Balsamic Vinegar
1 Tbsp of White Sugar
A few good shakes of Salt, Pepper, Maple Sugar Mix
1 Pound of Salmon
Now I realize that you’re probably reading this ingredient list and are thinking, “What the heck is Maple sugar?” Well here’s my bucket of maple sugar:
Just one of the many benefits of vacationing in Northern Vermont.
For your salsa, go ahead mix together in a bowl your chopped up mandarin oranges, green onions, olive oil, lime juice, balsamic, sugar, and maple sugar. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir it all together and throw it in the fridge to marinate while you’re grilling up your salmon.
Now grab your salmon and sprinkle liberally with your salt, pepper, maple sugar mix (again a Vermont spoil).
Throw your salmon on the grill and cook it through for about 10 minutes, flipping once. Here’s mine with those oh so beautiful grill marks.
All that’s left to now is throw that beautiful citrus salsa on top, grab your fork and knife, and try to restrain yourself from downing the entire hunk of fish in one bite.

I totally have that maple pepper and can make that! Yum!!! I'm so jealous you are at that conference. I can't wait to see pictures!
That looks fantastic. Enjoy NYC!
I need to gather my courage and try making salmon again. My last attempt was icky.
Hope you have a great time in NYC!
your salmon looks so very good!! I love the orange topping you made for it! using the maple was a very nice touch, it gave it just that little hint of sweetness!
You take great pictures to help cooks follow. Thanks for sharing and have a great trip.

salmon? not crazy about it. maple sugar, though, i find very alluring, and the lovely salsa looks great too! have fun in nyc!
MMMMMM! I think seafood and citrus are the perfect combo. Add in a little maple sweetness—PERFECTION!
This looks lovely! I like salmon but don't have many good ways to prepare it. I'll have to give it a try sometime!
I am green with envy, can't wait to hear all about it!!

VERY cool! I'm excited to see and hear about your visit to Blogher!
We just picked up some lovely salmon from Sam's Club and was looking for different recipes. I'm printing this one out to give a try. Any suggestions on the mapple sugar mix?
~ingrid
Ingrid, How about a mix of maple syrup and brown sugar? I bet that would give a close matchup to the maple brown sugar!
This salmon looks so good! Hope you are having a blast in NYC!
May I say you have an absolute lovely blog! You photos are perfect with thorough recipes that I will be trying! The Grilled Salmon recipe looks divine!

Oh Julie, I missed stopping by over here. I'm dealing with a bit of drama on the cupcake front but I so missed all your yummy yummies. Salmon is so good for you and your skin, I just love it. I just showed my hubby the pictures from your post and he says, "So that's what we're having for dinner tomorrow right?" Thanks girl 🙂
Have a blessed week and we'll talk soon!
Grilled fish is so easy and fresh. Yeah for a weekend in NYC, especially in the summer.
Oh, it looks so delicious! I always try to stay away from Salmon though because I become obsessed with it. I could have it every meal. But gosh, just this once maybe…
Oh mercy this looks incredible. Julie your family must've gone crazy for this. Your photos are truely beautiful.
Salmon is so good. I'm sure with your salsa it was pretty terrific.
Aw, come on! I can totally fit a whole piece of fish in my mouth in one bite, especially when it looks that tempting! Thanks for linking with Hearth ‘n Soul.
The salmon looks delicious – the salsa really looks like a perfect pairing! Yum. thanks for linking to hearth’nsoul!
First of all, this looks absolutely amazing. Second of all…I WANT some of that maple sugar (beyond awesome). Thirdly, hope you enjoyed “me” time!!
