Terpene Salmon

Citrus-Infused Salmon (Limonene)

 

Terpene: Limonene (found in citrus fruits)

 

Ingredients

​

• 4 salmon fillets

• 1 teaspoon citrus essential oil (limonene) or 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 teaspoon honey

• 2 garlic cloves (minced)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

 

Instructions

​

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

 

2. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, honey, garlic, lemon juice (or limonene essential oil), salt, and pepper.

 

3. Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet and brush them with the citrus mixture.

 

4. Roast the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.

 

5. Garnish with fresh herbs (like parsley or dill) and serve. The limonene from the citrus provides a fresh, bright flavor to the salmon.

Tips for Adding Terpenes

​

• Essential oils: Always ensure that you use food-safe essential oils. Not all essential oils are safe for consumption, so it's important to use high-quality, edible-grade products.

​

• Start small: Terpenes are highly concentrated, so a little goes a long way. Start with just one drop and adjust to taste.

​

• Dilute properly: If you're adding terpene oils, dilute them with other ingredients (such as oils, vinegar, or honey) to distribute the flavor more evenly.
