Smoky Orange Salmon
Smoky Orange Salmon combines sweet citrus, warming spices, and a touch of honey to create a beautifully caramelized crust. The rich salmon is balanced by bright orange and fresh mint, while crunchy pistachios add texture. It’s an elegant dish with bold flavors that feels much more special than a typical salmon dinner.

- 2 salmon fillets
- 1 tbsp honey

- 1 tbsp orange juice
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp chopped pistachios
