Notes

Ensure your roasting tin isn't too crowded; give the potatoes enough space to roast evenly and colour nicely. If necessary, use two tins to avoid steaming them instead of roasting.
Position the salmon fillets carefully so they are nestled amongst the potato mixture. This helps them absorb all the wonderful flavours and stops them from drying out during cooking.
Keep a close eye on the salmon during its final bake. It's perfectly cooked when it flakes easily with a fork, but still looks moist. Overcooking can lead to dry, less appetising fish.
