Recipe Notes

  1. You can cook the vegetables first and keep them warm on the side while you cook your salmon
  2. The cashews can be toasted up to 1 day ahead and kept in an airtight container.  Bring to room temperature before adding to mixed vegetables
  3. Add cooked pasta such as Orzo, Spaghetti, or Linguine for a more filling side dish.  Top with feta or goat cheese and fresh basil for added flavor.
