Lemon Garlic Salmon Tray Bake is a vibrant and healthy one-pan meal featuring flaky salmon fillets, roasted vegetables, and a zesty lemon garlic marinade. Perfect for busy weeknights, it’s nutritious, flavorful, and easy to clean up.

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
  • 1 lb baby potatoes or new potatoes, halved
  • 2 cups broccoli florets or green beans
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried oregano or thyme
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking tray with parchment paper or foil.
  2. Toss halved potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper, and half the dried herbs. Spread on tray and roast for 15 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together remaining olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and oregano or thyme to make the marinade.
  4. Remove tray from oven. Push potatoes to one side and add salmon fillets and remaining vegetables (broccoli and cherry tomatoes).
  5. Drizzle everything with the lemon garlic marinade.
  6. Return tray to oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

Use thawed frozen salmon if fresh isn’t available—just pat dry first.Switch up veggies based on season or preference.Don’t overcook salmon—look for flaking and 145°F (63°C) internal temp.Line the tray for easy cleanup and less sticking.
