Orange you glad you saw this?

Now that summertime is upon us, we've been snacking on lots of oranges. But, oranges can also be used in cooking entrees and side dishes. Today we're featuring recipes that make such great use of oranges you'll want to buy some extras tomorrow.

Pictured at the top are Orange Crusted Salmon with Parsnip Puree from Martha Stewart. Freshly squeezed OJ and orange segments make this salmon dish a citrusy delight.

If you want to kick the orange into overdrive, try Orange Glazed Carrots with Ramp Barley and Spinach from Serious Eats, below. The carrots are glazed in orange juice, which adds a nice tartness to their sweetness. This works as a vegetarian entree or as a base for your fish or chicken.
