Do you ever find yourself liking a food better based on its color? I am a huge fan of all things Orange. So when I saw this salmon at the grocery store, I first noticed the amazing bright orange color, then I imagined how I would cook it. So it got me thinking, am I more motivated to buy food if it’s my favorite color? I have to say yes, I am drawn to colors I love, especially orange, I’m an Orange Eater.
Baked on 400 degrees for 20 minutes this salmon comes out flaky and moist. I seasoned with salt, pepper and olive oil. I also had leftover quinoa and left over couscous, so I mixed them together for a side dish.
I also had a nice side salad to go with my salmon. I loaded it up with lots of veggies, avocados, cucumbers, chives, a sliced egg and some sunflower seeds. I was actually really full just from the salad.
Some of my favorite Orange foods are:
- Sweet Potato
- Apricots
- Orange Bell Peppers
- Squash
- Mango’s
- Pumpkin
- Carrots
- Oranges

I love salmon and the simplest the way it is prepared, the better. With just salt, pepper and olive oil, the true flavor of this delightful fish remains pure. Great dish!
I agree, why mess with perfection…
Being a Pacific Northwest girl, I am quite the salmon fan too! If I had to pick a favorite food color it would be hard, but I am really drawn to the warmer hues of orange, yellow, and red.
I do love red foods also…
