Instructions

First, prepare veggies: mince garlic, cut the baby potatoes in half, cut broccoli into florets, and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Then, marinate the salmon: Add the salmon 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.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Add the potatoes onto a rimmed baking tray lined with parchment paper. Drizzle the potatoes with half the olive oil. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the potatoes from the oven. Add the marinated salmon to the baking tray. Scatter around the broccoli and cherry tomatoes. Add a few lemon slices on top and bake for 15 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily.

Substitutions & Variations: I have included a list of these in the post above.

To Store: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.

To Freeze: Freeze leftovers in an airtight container for up to three months. Defrost in the fridge and then reheat in the microwave or oven.

Tip 1: You can have a lot of fun with mixing up this recipe! Try adding a honey sauce for a sweeter meal. You could add soy sauce and Asian flavourings for a different vibe. A dijon mustard sauce is also a great fit.

Tip 2: If you're wanting a smaller version of this meal, try cooking it up in the air fryer! It will save you time and energy and you'll get just what you need!

Tip 3: You can easily trade out the protein in this dish. It would work great with beef or chicken, for instance. Tray bakes are always great because you set it and forget it for the most part!
