Notes
Other veggies you could use:
Sliced bell peppers
Zucchini or summer squash(cut into coins)
Onions (white or red)
Green Beans
Broccoli Crowns, chopped small
Storage:Store the leftover salmon in the fridge for up to 3 days after cooking. You can reheat it in the oven (I like to use the toaster oven) or the air fryer for best results, or serve cold.Freezer: I wouldn’t recommend freezing this after cooking, however you can make the pesto ahead of time and freezing that for later use.
