This custom cook is an easy, healthy way to add amplify the flavor of the salmon and asparagus combo cook. The salmon is garnished with a sweet and sour topping made of pomegranate, walnuts, parsley and lemon. Feel free to use either skin-on salmon or skinless salmon for this. If you are using skinless salmon, just make sure to run the skinless salmon and asparagus combo cook program on Brava instead.
