The vibrant blood orange, the subtle fennel, and the extra citrus bang are a full-on burst in this slow-roasted salmon dish. Regularly consuming oranges, which are high in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidant compounds can help promote healthy immune function. Besides, oranges are a good source of fiber and potassium, both of which can support heart health.
