Ingredients Needed:

• 500 g sweet potato 
• 3 (bell) peppers 
• 2 small red onions 
• Salt and pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 6 small sprigs of thyme + extra for garnish 
• 4 fillets salmon 

How To Make Salmon Tray Bake Recipe?

1. Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 220°C.
2. Prepare the vegetables: Place the sweet potatoes, peppers, and onions on a large baking tray. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and thyme, and toss to coat. Spread them out in a single layer.
3. Roast the vegetables: Put the tray in the oven and roast for 15 minutes.
4. Add the salmon: Take the tray out, stir the veggies, and place the salmon fillets skin-side down among them. Drizzle with a little more olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
5. Finish roasting: Put the tray back in the oven for 10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.
6. Serve: Garnish with fresh thyme (if using) and serve with a green side salad.

Recipe Tips:

• Cut veggies the same size: Make sure the sweet potatoes and peppers are chopped evenly so they cook at the same time. If some pieces are too big, they will stay hard while smaller ones become too soft.
• Use a large baking tray: The vegetables need space to roast properly. If they are too close together, they will steam instead of getting that nice roasted texture.
• Season the salmon well: A little extra salt, pepper, and olive oil on the salmon brings out the best flavor. You can also add a squeeze of lemon before serving for a fresh taste.
• Don’t overcook the salmon: Check the salmon after 10 minutes. It should be flaky but still moist inside. If it looks dry or too firm, take it out right away.
• Stir the vegetables halfway through: This helps them cook evenly and prevents some pieces from burning while others stay undercooked.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the salmon traybake cool down first. Then, put it in an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days.
• Reheat: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a little oil, place the salmon and veggies in the pan, and cover with a lid. Heat for 3-5 minutes, turning gently until warm.
