The fresh cilantro and oranges compliment each other so beautifully, creating a light and fresh topping for the peppery salmon. It takes just a short amount of time to combine the ingredients for the salsa, so this dish comes together really easily. Yet, it has an impressive presentation that makes it look like it took hours to prepare!
