- The cooking time will vary depending on the size of your broccoli and salmon.
- If you love your broccoli crispy on the edges you may want to increase the initial cooking time from 15 minutes to 20 before you add the salmon to the pan.
- You do not have to remove the salmon skin before cooking, it will easily peel away once the salmon is cooked.
