I must warn you: never pair salmon with watery vegetables like zucchini that haven’t been salted and drained. A soggy zucchini is the enemy of a crispy salmon skin. Also, canned peas should be banned by international law when it comes to fish. They don’t add flavor, they don’t add texture, they just add disappointment.
And for the love of all that is flaky, don’t serve salmon with a side of plain, raw cucumber. That’s like wearing socks with sandals—it’s confusing, it’s wet, and it makes everyone uncomfortable. At least dress the cucumber in vinegar and dill first.
