Notes
For added flavor, consider marinating the salmon in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs for about 30 minutes before cooking. You can use any vegetables you have on hand as long as they have similar cooking times to the salmon. For a crispy texture, broil the salmon for the last few minutes of cooking. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
