# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The salmon stays impossibly moist while those vegetables get this gorgeous char that tastes like you have way more skills than you actually do
  • Everything cooks on one tray which means zero cleanup drama and more time on the couch
02 -
  • The vegetables shrink more than you expect while roasting so don't be shy about piling them on
  • Watch the salmon closely after 20 minutes because carryover cooking will finish it off the pan
03 -
  • Patting the salmon completely dry is the secret to getting those nice seasoned edges instead of steaming in its own moisture
  • Let the tray rest for about 5 minutes out of the oven so those flavors settle and the salmon firms up slightly
