The trick to a salmon tray bake is accepting that potatoes and fish do not share a cooking time. Giving the potatoes a head start creates browned edges without sacrificing the salmon.
Add green beans with the fish and check the thickest fillet early. Salmon should flake at the edges while remaining moist in the center; 145°F is the food-safe endpoint.
The method behind the meal
Why this recipe works
- •Cut potatoes no larger than one inch.
- •Place thinner salmon pieces toward the cooler edges of the pan.
- •Store leftovers for up to two days and reheat gently.
