Notes

Feel free to mix and match vegetables based on what you have on hand. Asparagus, zucchini, and bell peppers are great choices. Using fresh herbs can elevate the flavor—dill pairs perfectly with salmon, while thyme adds a gentle earthy flavor. For an even easier cleanup, consider wrapping the ingredients in aluminum foil to create a foil packet. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days, perfect for lunch the next day! This recipe can be customized: add olives and cherry tomatoes for a Mediterranean twist, or potatoes for a heartier meal. Enjoy!
