Posted on

This Marinated Vegetable Salad With Salmon dish is a trifecta of dishes—attractive, healthy, and delicious! It’s the overnight marinate for the vegetables that makes it extra special. 

The oily flesh of salmon stands up well to being grilled or broiled and the marinaded vegetables are the perfect accompaniment.

3 carrots, sliced
2 zucchini, sliced
2 cups broccoli florets
