Chef's Tip: Adjusting cook time: The recipe timing is based on salmon filets weighing around 160 g each. If your filets are extra thick, simply extend the steaming time by about 5 minutes.
Notes
- Veggie Swaps: Feel free to customize the carrot and celery root mix with other veggies like leeks, bell peppers, or zucchini. Just be sure to chop everything into uniform pieces so it cooks evenly!
- Amp Up the Flavor: Add a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of fresh dill to the veggies before steaming. Tucking a small sprig of fresh rosemary or thyme inside each salmon packet also infuses incredible herbal aroma.
