*The citric acid in the lemon juice "cooks" the salmon. If you prefer you can chargrill your salmon instead. Alternatively replace the salmon completly with chargrilled or poached chicken.
Remember to make it your way. If any of these ingredients are trigger foods, replace them for vegetables that work for you!
