Notes
Protein Swaps
Air fryer chicken bites or crispy tofu would work well if salmon isn't your
thing. Other Swaps If you can't find blood oranges any orange will do, this would also be
tasty with grapefruit. Grains Use any grain you like, or skip the grain and serve on a bed of shredded
red cabbage.
