Salmon a la Yoms

Yoms and Claire were visiting from London. We went to Costco and bought a slab of salmon, which he transformed into this incredible dish.

This is what I call a no-recipe recipe. Take a look at the pics and decide on your proportions. Leftovers are welcome. While I love salmon, my favorite part of this dish is the veggies. If you're anchovy-averse, trust me. You need anchovies in this dish; baking melts them, turning the juices into pure umami.
