Notes
Italian seasoning - You can make your own by stirring together equal parts dried thyme, parsley, oregano, and basil. I also keep Herbs de Provence on hand and substitute it any time I see "Italian seasoning" in a recipe for more flavor!
Make it cheesier - Add 1/4 cup parmesan cheese right before baking to the potatoes or asparagus.
Flavor swap - Add 1 tablespoon of dried Ranch seasoning to the potatoes. Kids in particular love this!
Meal prep - This salmon dish will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
