Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
- Substitute other veggies like broccoli, green beans, Brussel sprouts, or zucchini wedges.
- Use heartier vegetables like potatoes, sweet potatoes, turnips, and butternut squash in addition to the asparagus. These all need a bit longer to cook, so bake them first and then add the salmon and asparagus to the tray afterward.
- Substitute 1 teaspoon of garlic powder in place of fresh minced garlic.
- Use other seasonings like lemon pepper or Italian seasoning, honey garlic, lime, ginger, honey mustard, sweet chili sauce, maple syrup, pesto, rosemary, or other fresh herbs, you name it!
