Add lemon rind to the dish, avoiding the bitter white part.

Sprinkle a little salt over the vegetables.

Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the vegetables.

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.

Bake in the oven at 375°F until the vegetables are tender.

Add a few drops of lemon juice to the dish after checking the vegetables.

Stir the sour cream into the vegetables to incorporate flavors.

Return the dish to the oven and turn it off, allowing residual heat to finish cooking the salmon.
