Tips for the Best Salmon Tray Bake

• Use fresh salmon for the best taste and texture.

• If you prefer a crispy skin, place the salmon skin-side down and avoid moving it during cooking.

• Feel free to swap or add vegetables based on seasonality or preference. Asparagus, green beans, or baby potatoes work well.

• Swap pasta for a side of quinoa, couscous, or a simple green salad for a healthier meal.
