Orange and salmon are a match made in heaven. The sweet citrus flavors combine with the rich, oily textures in the salmon for a healthful dish that seems too decadent to be good for you. Fennel and yogurt are two popular Mediterranean ingredients that are as virtuous as they are delicious.

Mediterranean Tradition
Fennel, known to be a digestive aid, is often eaten raw in salads,
braised, or roasted as in recipes such as this one. Its seeds are also
used as a spice and boiled to make soothing after-dinner teas.
