This dinner combines roasted veggies, a creamy sauce and juicy salmon fillets all in one pan, a simple baking tray. Play around with the veggies, using more onions or fennel if you don’t have any leeks. Swap potatoes for sweet potatoes or parsnips. Throw in some Brussel sprouts… So many combinations can work to put your own name to this dish.
