Reflection
The brief asked for a quiet reset, so I focused on structured cooking with balanced elements. The salmon’s earthiness paired with the sweetness of carrots and the brightness of spinach created a grounded, warming dish. The jalapeño’s heat was tempered by the cucumber’s coolness, aligning with the Moon’s need for hydration and the Taurus love of rich textures.
