Healthy salmon tray bake FAQ:
Bake the salmon for 20-25 minutes at 400°F (200°C), or until it flakes easily with a fork.
A large baking tray (around 13x18 inches) works best to ensure the salmon and vegetables are arranged in a single layer for even cooking.
Yes, you can substitute salmon with other firm fish like trout or cod, but adjust the baking time as needed depending on the thickness of the fillets.
The salmon is fully cooked when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). It's firm to the touch and opaque in color.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
