Variations for this recipe
Not only is this dish simple to make, but it’s also very flexible.
If you’d rather grill the salmon than broil it, feel free. Want to cook your onions on the stove instead of in the oven? Knock yourself out.
You can also substitute greens based on your preferences (or simply what you have on hand!) Feel free to swap out the arugula for spinach or another leafy green.
Don’t hesitate to customize this dish based on personal preference or convenience!
Storage
Only planning to eat two of the four servings? I recommend pulling some of the salmon out of the oven early so you can easily reheat it later without overcooking it.
After the salmon has been baking for five minutes or so, remove the servings you’re planning to save for later. Allow them to cool, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
That way, when you reheat the leftovers, you’ll still have perfectly-cooked salmon!
