I’m definitely a fan of summer – a long hot day at the beach is more my style than the dark, dull, cold wet days of an Auckland winter.  But one bonus of having to endure winter is that at this time of the year my little Meyer lemon tree comes up trumps.  This year is pretty exceptional and the poor wee tree is so loaded with fruit some of its branches are bending and in danger of snapping right off!  

Lemons

What to do with lemons?  Preserving  and baking come to mind and I’ll leave Preserved Lemons for another post.  So baking it is, something tangy with a hint of sweetness.   A tasty treat to have with morning coffee or afternoon tea or eaten warm with whipped cream for dessert?  So how about this then?

Roasted Salmon with Grapefruit Basil Sauce

I am lucky enough to have an old grapefruit tree which faithfully produces fruit every winter.  But something strange seems to happen as every two years it seems to go completely mad and is totally overloaded with fruit. It’s one of those years. So I need to find recipes to use up at least some of the delicious tangy fruit.

Going sugar free has meant I don’t make marmalade and even if I did, I generally don’t have gluten-free toast to spread it on. Fruit juice is out so I try and give away as much as I can, but there is still a lot that ends up in the compost bin, awful I know!

It was pretty awesome to find Swiss Paleo’s recipe – Roasted Salmon with Grapefruit Basil Sauce.
