Simple Salmon Traybake

A Salmon Traybake is a quick midweek meal that’s cheap, easy, and full of flavour and nutrition. Add all of your favourite veggies for a fantastic family roast.

I love Traybake dinner recipes. They are easy, fast, and super tasty. There’s not much better than being able to throw everything onto a baking tray and bake it. 

Salmon traybake recipes are great because they are super healthy, a great way to eat more fish, and a little bit different. 

One of my favourite things about One tray wonders like this is that you can add all of your favourite veggies. I like a Salmon traybake with new potatoes, peppers, asparagus, and tomatoes. 

But, you can add different potatoes, aubergines, and any other veg that you and your family like.

Can Salmon be Cooked from Frozen?

Another great thing about this Salmon and Vegetable Traybake is that you can use frozen salmon fillets. 

Frozen salmon is fantastic. It’s often much cheaper than fresh fillets, and great to have in the freezer ready for a simple family meal. 

Frozen Salmon Recipes are always great. 

The best thing is, salmon fillets can be cooked from frozen without any preparation.

For a gorgeous Frozen salmon traybake simply add the frozen salmon to the tray with the vegetables and potatoes, and bake for 40 minutes, instead of adding fresh fillets 20 minutes into the bake. 

How to Make Salmon Traybake

Cooking salmon from frozen gives you some flexibility when it comes to cooking your Fish traybake.

You don’t need to plan in advance. Keep some frozen salmon fillets in your freezer and this Salmon Traybake Recipe becomes an easy meal plan filler. 

Simply slice your vegetables and potatoes, I recommend keeping them fairly thin and slice my potatoes in 3mm (ish) rounds. This helps them to bake faster. If your potatoes are thicker, they may take longer to cook, or you might want to parboil them before roasting.

Then, toss everything in oil, or throw on the tray and drizzle the oil over, add your favourite herbs that go well with fish.

Personally, I like tarragon and parsley with salmon, but again, feel free to experiment.

Then, bake. Remove from the oven after 20 minutes and toss everything gently, so that all the oil doesn’t sink to the bottom and everything gets coated. If you are using fresh fish, add it now. 

If you are using frozen fish that’s been on the tray since the start of the bake, you might want to gently remove it from the pan before tossing the veg, just so that it doesn’t break up, and then nestle it gently back on before returning to the oven.

That’s it! A super simple family dinner with fish!

What Vegetables Can You Add to a Salmon Traybake?

Healthy traybakes are great because they give you so many options, and a Frozen fish traybake is no different.

Anything that you can roast, you can use to make Quick and easy traybake dinners. Roasted Peppers are always a favourite here, and I love courgettes. Sweet potatoes could work too, as well as swede and butternut squash. 

Robyn really likes a Salmon and Tomato Traybake so we usually add some cherry or plum tomatoes, even if only me and her eat them. 

This Quick Salmon Traybake is the perfect way to try new veggies or to go back to old favourites. You certainly don’t have to stick to the same things, or my recipe, every time you make it.

Midweek dinners with fish are fantastic, especially, if like us you probably don’t eat enough fish. Baked frozen salmon with all of your favourite veggies is the ideal to add more fish to your diet without having to faff about with fancy ingredients or methods. Perfect for when you are short on time.

Ingredients
 
 

  • 4 Salmon Fillets
  • 250 g New Potatoes (Sliced into 3mm rounds)
  • 1 Red Pepper (Sliced into 8 Chunks)
  • 1 Red Onion (Sliced into 8 Chunks)
  • 12 Cherry Tomatoes ( On the vine broken into 3’s)
  • 12 Asparagus Spears or Tips
  • 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Tarragon
  • 1 teaspoon Parsley
  • Good Pinch of Salt and Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
  • Place the potatoes and veg on a large baking sheet.
  • Drizzle with oil and sprinkle on the tarragon, parsley and salt and pepper.
  • Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and toss.
  • Nestle on the salmon fillets, and brush lightly with oil, and add a tiny bit more tarragon and parsley.
  • Bake for a further 20 minutes until the salmon is cooked and the potatoes are soft.

Notes

  • I often use frozen salmon fillets, in which case I nestle them on before the first bake and before drizzling with oil and herbs. After 20 minutes, carefully remove the salmon, toss, and then return the same before baking for 20 more minutes.

    I’m always trying to get more fish into our diet, but I’m with you: I don’t care for salmon by itself. It needs to be tempered down with strong flavors like dill and lemon or Cajun seasoning, for example. I love the mix of vegetables you use for this traybake, and tarragon is an especially good choice that I hadn’t tried with salmon. YUM!
