Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute frozen salmon?

Yes, but ensure it is fully thawed and patted completely dry before seasoning to ensure proper roasting.

How do I know when the salmon is done?

The salmon should be opaque and flake easily when pressed gently with a fork.

Is this meal freezer-friendly?

The salmon is best eaten fresh. The sprouts can be stored in the fridge for 2 days but may lose their crispness.
