Pro Tips (FAQ-style)
Can I use frozen salmon?
Yes. Thaw fully, pat dry, and reduce the potato roasting time slightly since salmon may cook faster.
What potatoes work best?
Baby potatoes or fingerling potatoes work well because they roast quickly and evenly.
How do I make it one-tray but ensure veggies don’t overcook?
Add sturdier vegetables like broccoli or asparagus during the last 8-10 minutes of roasting so they remain crisp-tender.
