This savory-sweet glaze locks in moisture and caramelizes to a delightful crust as the salmon cooks. Once your salmon is in the oven, throw your zucchini in a skillet to start cooking. To round out the plate, serve with your favorite cooked grain, like rice or farro, or quartered roasted red potatoes.
