Variations & Tips:
- Herb Upgrades: Feel free to add other herbs like oregano or thyme to the creamy sauce for additional flavor.
- Protein Swaps: Substitute the salmon with chicken breast for a different protein option. Adjust cooking time accordingly as chicken may require longer.
- Vegetable Mix-up: You can add other vegetables like zucchini or asparagus to the sheet pan for more variety.
- Dairy-Free Option: Use coconut cream and nutritional yeast instead of heavy cream and Parmesan to make it dairy-free.
- Leftovers: This dish reheats well and can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
