The Story

This is one of those recipes that's actually healthy and actually tastes great — not always an easy combination. Everything goes on one sheet pan, the sauce does the heavy lifting, and it's a completely different way to eat salmon than pan-seared. If you have a steam oven, it works really well; if not, a regular oven is fine.
