This salmon dish is a complete dinner (or, dare I say, breakfast?) - it's loaded with omega-3, antioxidants, and other anti-inflammatory power punches. It's also very easy to make! It is a home run for a Mediterranean or heart-healthy diet and is a great way to use up leftover veggie odds and ends before they turn furry in the corner of your fridge.
Here I place my pledge to never make you scroll through 24 paragraphs about what I did the day I first made this recipe, 14 variations on the recipe, and how this was my grandmother’s sister’s favorite food. You will find the recipe directly below. Happy cooking!
