Do you bake the vegetables or just leave them on a baking sheet…?
Hi Maggie – the vegetables bake at the same time with the salmon on one baking sheet
It calls for 1/2 lemon juice. One half of what?
Hi Bex – The juice from half a lemon =)

Hi Christine –
We did not calculate the nutrition on this recipe since it came from a blogger, but you can easily calculate them by adding the ingredients to your nutritional planner.
Made this for dinner when trying to decide what to do with salmon I had bought and I happened to have baby bok choy and mushrooms. Mine was perfect in 15 min in a preheated 400 degree oven. Tasty and easy.
Yay!! Glad you liked it Sandra!
I didn’t have bok choy, so I used broccoli instead. My kid, who is horribly picky, LOVED the salmon, which I was so not expecting! Thank you!
That is so great to hear, Wendy!! Please let us know if you try any other recipes that your child enjoys!
