Directions
Chef’s Note: Please note there are two versions of this recipe and accompanying photography. All steps remain essentially the same, only the vegetable accompaniments change between the two versions. These differences can be highlighted as versatile options that can be easily executed.
- Asparagus Spears with Cherry Tomatoes & Yellow Summer Squash
- Zucchini Spears with Purple Cabbage, Bell Peppers & Red Onion
For the Asparagus Version
- Add each of the Butter Herb Salmon fillets to the oven safe vessels respectively.
- Arrange the asparagus neatly to one side of the Salmon.
- Toss together the squash, tomatoes, garlic and red onion in a small bowl and then add to the vessel opposite the asparagus.
- Drizzle the vegetables with the olive oil and lemon juice before adding the vegetable stock to the pan.
- Bake immediately or store up to two days under refrigeration.
- Preheat your oven to 375℉. Remove any covering if necessary before baking in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the Salmon is fully cooked.
- Garnish with sliced lemon wheels and chopped parsley.
For the Zucchini Version
- Repeat steps 1-4, substituting zucchini for the asparagus and a medley of cabbage, red peppers and onions for the tomato and summer squash mixture.
To Finish
- Serve the Butter Herb Salmon & Veggies directly in the baking vessel or transfer to dinner plates for a more attractive presentation.
Chef Note: This recipe works best in 5″x7″ containers, but any oven safe vessels will work.
