Why this recipe works
I am a huge fan of a good sheet pan recipe. They are so easy to make and so delicious and this sheet pan salmon is no different!
This healthy tray bake is incredibly quick to put together and perfect for those busy evenings when you don’t want to cook much but still need something packed with fiber and healthy fats.
Ingredients to make Salmon Tray Bake
For the Salmon:
- Salmon Fillets – be sure to leave the skin on.
- Olive Oil – is used to hold the seasonings to the salmon and help it roast up in the oven.
- Garlic Cloves – are a perfect fit for a salmon and veg meal.
- Italian Herbs – generally include some combination of basil, oregano, rosemary, etc.
- Lemon Juice – gives a citrus taste to the fish.
- Salt and Pepper – is used to heighten the other flavours.
For the Vegetables:
- Olive Oil – holds the salt and pepper on and helps the veg to roast to perfection.
- Baby Potatoes – will end up with a crispy exterior and a warm and perfect center.
- Broccoli – is a healthy choice and a great pairing for this dish.
- Cherry Tomatoes – burst with flavour when they are roasted!
- Salt and Pepper – are all that you need – roasted veg have their own intense flavour!
Additional:
- Lemon Slices – cook on top of the Salmon Traybake for an extra burst of flavour.

See recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
Substitutions
- Lemon Juice – Lime will bring a slightly different flavour, but will work in a pinch.
- Vegetables – Feel free to use whatever you have on hand! Some good choices would be asparagus spears, green beans, olives, tenderstem broccoli, sweet potatoes, peppers, or spring onions.
Variations
- Spicy – You can go straight spicy with some red pepper flakes or bring a different kind of spice by using curry seasonings.
- Deluxe – You can serve this Salmon and New Potato Tray Bake with a side of Dijon Mustard Sauce or Lemon Dill sauce for a deluxe meal.
- Kid friendly – It is easy to change out the veg or meat for whatever fits your kids’ pallates! This would be great with chicken or beef and just about any veg you can roast!
How to make Salmon Tray Bake
Step 1: First, prepare veggies: mince garlic, cut the baby potatoes in half, cut broccoli into florets, and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Step 2: Then, marinate the salmon: Add the salmon skin side down to a large dish. Drizzle it with olive oil and coat it with garlic, Italian herbs, and lemon juice. Season the salmon to taste with salt and pepper. Set the salmon aside.
Step 3: Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Add the potatoes onto a rimmed baking tray lined with parchment paper. Pour half the olive oil on the potatoes. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper and bake for 25 minutes.
Step 4: Remove the potatoes from the oven. Add the marinated salmon to the baking tray. Scatter around the broccoli and cherry potatoes. Add a few lemon slices on top and bake for 15 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily.
Hint: If you’re feeling fancy, you can turn your baking tray into a work of art by arranging the foods just right.
Leftovers
Leftover Salmon Tray Bake with New Potatoes will keep in the fridge for 2-3 days. Store in an airtight container and reheat in the microwave or oven.
Recipe FAQs
This tray bake can be a meal in and of itself, but you could also serve it alongside a salad or a bowl of rice or noodles. A nice piece of crusty bread would also go great.
I find that letting it marinate while the potatoes start to bake is plenty. That will give me at least 30 minutes. You can definitely marinate longer if you prefer, but this system is perfect for quick weeknight dinners.
