Tasty Tangerine Recipes

Chinese Tangerine Chicken

1 lb skinless chicken breasts, cubed
1 teaspoon peanut oil (vegetable oil will do)
1 tangerine peel, finely chopped (just eat the rest)
1 Tbsp chopped gingerroot
2 dried red chilies (optional)
2 Tbsp soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 pinch sugar

Brown the chicken in the oil until the outer layer is cooked. Stir in the tangerine peel, ginger root, and chilies. Fry this for about a minute then add the soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar. Bring to a quick boil then simmer for about 5 minutes or until the chicken is done (don't overcook it). Discard teh chilis before serving.

Baked Salmon with Tangerines

2 salmon filets (about the size of your palm)
1 cup of peeled tangerine sections
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
2 tsp. melted butter
1/2 tsp. fresh ginger, minced
1/2 tsp. soy sauce
Minced fresh parsley as a garnish (optional)

Remove the skin from the salmon and place it in a baking dish which has been sprayed with Pam or something like it. Layer the tangerine sections on top of the salmon.. Combine the remaining ingredients (except the parsley) and pour over the salmon. Cover loosely with foil and bake at 350° F for 15 to 20 minutes or until the salmon is done.
