The photo shows what look very much like diced onions, not listed in the ingredients, and not too much like a side of salmon–perhaps fillets?
Hi! This is a photo of the side of salmon on a cedar plank. The salmon was sliced after preparing for the presentation which may make it look like fillets. This recipe would work well with fillets as well. The vegetables are as listed in the recipe but onions would be a welcome addition and would certainly add a delicious flavor. Enjoy!
