Salmon can be prepared a day in advance, store in the fridge (preferably not layered or sauce will soak into salmon). Reheat in the microwave until heated through.
Slaw can be prepared a day ahead and sugar snap peas can be sliced ahead, just wait to add to heated bowl.
Yogurt sauce can be made a day prior.
Possible Variations:
Add rice: Brown or white rice, quinoa or farro would work well.
Coleslaw mix: Use a store-bought coleslaw mix to safe time.
Rice vinegar alternative: Apple cider vinegar is another great choice.
Use other vegetables: So many options on this one. You could use other vegetables like cucumber, bok choy, spinach, broccoli slaw, bell pepper, sauteed mushrooms etc.
Chicken or tofu for salmon: Exchange the protein and cook through to your liking.
