💡 Helpful Tips

  • Cut potatoes into even sizes to ensure they cook at the same rate
  • Place salmon on top of vegetables to keep it juicy while baking
  • Do not overcrowd the tray — spacing helps vegetables roast instead of steam
  • Let the salmon rest for 2–3 minutes after baking before serving
  • Add fresh lemon slices after baking for a cleaner, brighter finish

Storage & Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best results, keep the lemon dill sauce separate if possible. Reheat the salmon and vegetables gently in the oven at 350°F until warmed through. You can also reheat them in the microwave, but the vegetables may become softer.
