Notes
For extra crispy salmon, avoid overcrowding the skillet and cook the salmon in batches if needed.
Store toppings separately when meal prepping to keep the vegetables fresh and crisp.
Adjust the spice level easily by increasing or reducing the amount of sriracha in the salmon glaze and spicy mayo.
