As the midday sun streamed through the kitchen window, the enticing aroma of orange-glazed salmon filled the air, promising a delightful lunch. The salmon, perfectly seared to a crisp golden exterior, was generously drizzled with a glossy glaze made from fresh orange juice, a hint of soy sauce, and a sprinkle of fragrant ginger. Served alongside a vibrant salad of mixed greens, avocado, and toasted almonds, the dish was a harmonious blend of flavours. The zesty sweetness of the glaze complemented the rich, buttery fish, creating a delicious balance that was both satisfying and refreshing. Accompanied by a slice of crusty bread to mop up the last of the citrusy sauce, this was a lunch that not only nourished the body but also delighted the senses.
