Morphology

fusion + of + flavor

The meaning is directly compositional: 'fusion' (joining or blending) combined with 'flavors' (tastes) linked by 'of' yields a blended combination of tastes. This construction (fusion of X) is transparent and cross-linguistically common, and the culinary sense is familiar enough that a B1 learner who knows the constituent words would readily infer the meaning.

Etymology

Fusion of flavors uses the word fusion, which means joining different things, and it shows chefs mixing different flavors from other kitchens into one new taste. That's why the phrase means 'a combination of distinct tastes'.
