Challenges
This roasted salmon and vegetable combination is packed with flavor, easy to prepare. Give the potatoes a 30-minute head start to soften in the oven before adding the vegetables and salmon. The vegetables and salmon cook more quickly, so roasting in stages is how everything finishes cooking at the same time.
