Salmon with Spicy Orange Glaze
The sauce... Oh My Goodness! Amazing! I served this with Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Grilled Asparagus. The husband loved the sauce as much as I did, omit the chilli if you are serving it to the kids. I promise you they will love it too! I thought the citrusy, sweet, and savoury sauce compliments
