The salmon comes alive with these chives (we will not apologize for that rhyme). It's creamy, delicious, lemon-y, and every bite is full of bursting flavor that's there to savor. (No apologies.) With crunchy broccoli on the side, this meal is yours, if only you would decide. (Ok, that one we'll apologize for.)
