Salmon steaks are a quick and healthy option for busy weeknights, bursting with flavor from a tangy orange glaze. The glaze combines soy sauce, honey, mustard, and fresh orange juice for a bright citrusy touch. The salmon is stuffed with orange slices, seasoned with spices, and cooked to perfection. A creamy yogurt garlic sauce with parsley and pickle adds a refreshing contrast, making this dish a complete delight.
