View ProfileMeet your next go-to meal. Chef Vanessa gives buttery roasted salmon a super-savory roasted garlic marinade, then sears and finishes it in the oven for maximum moistness. But the fire-roasted red pepper Romesco sauce might just steal the show with a perfect balance of smokiness, heat, and rich nuttiness from its cashew base. On the side: Lemony steamed broccoli and fluffy herbed couscous. Seriously—this is kind of flavor-packed meal you’ll want to put on repeat.
