Sheet-Pan Salmon, New Potatoes & Green Veg

Plate of salmon with mashed potato and green vegetables
EW

By Emma Whitfield · Pregnancy & Baby Writer

Oily fish is recommended once or twice a week for the whole family, and this sheet-pan approach makes it as low-effort as any other traybake.

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 500g new potatoes, halved
  • 200g green beans or broccoli
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Lemon wedges, to serve

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan).
  2. Toss the halved new potatoes in olive oil on a baking tray and roast for 15 minutes.
  3. Add the salmon fillets and green vegetables to the tray, drizzle with a little more oil, and roast for a further 12-15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily.
  4. Check the salmon thoroughly for any small bones before serving to young children, and flake into smaller pieces.
  5. Serve with lemon wedges for the adults.

Tips

  • Flake the salmon and check carefully for bones on younger children's plates specifically — it's worth the extra thirty seconds.
  • Swap in whatever green vegetable is in season or in the fridge.
