Notes
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over medium-low heat to preserve texture.
Make-Ahead: The spice blend can be mixed ahead of time. Vegetables can be sliced and stored in the fridge for a day before cooking.
Substitutions: Use any firm white fish like cod or halibut instead of salmon. For a vegetarian version, substitute with firm tofu or chickpeas.
Serving Suggestion: Serve over a bed of fluffy couscous or quinoa to soak up the flavorful juices. A dollop of plain yogurt or a side of cucumber salad complements the spices well.
