I love salmon for weeknight dinners because it's super quick to prepare, packed with nutrients, and you can dress it up anyway you like. For this dish, I gave it a zesty, bright arugula salsa verde with capers, herbs, and lemon.

    This was great!!!! My son loves salmon but I was worried about the herb mixture on top. He ate half of my salmon too!!! I especially loved the arugula salsa verde!! we ate it with garlic and olive oil spaghetti with the salsa verde mixed together. Perfect combination!!!! I should have made more :)
