Fresh salmon takes on sweet and tangy flavors so well which is why this orange salmon should make it onto everyone’s table. The salmon is glazed in an orange sauce that is balanced out by garlic, onion powder and fresh herbs, and is particularly delicious when served with crisp green vegetables, or even hot cooked rice or cauliflower rice. This dish also looks elegant and would be ideal to serve the next time you plan to make dinner for guests.
