Let’s make it.
- 01
Roast potatoes
Heat oven to 220°C / 200°C fan. Toss potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil and a little salt in a large roasting tray. Roast for 25 minutes, turning once.
- 02
Add salmon
Reduce oven to 200°C / 180°C fan. Make spaces for the salmon, place it skin-side down, brush with remaining oil and top with lemon slices. Season with pepper.
- 03
Cook through
Roast for 12–15 minutes, checking the thickest part is opaque, flakes readily and is steaming hot throughout. Use a thermometer for a core temperature of 75°C for 30 seconds; allow longer for thick fillets. Potatoes should be fully tender.
- 04
Finish the plate
While the salmon roasts, boil green beans for 4–6 minutes until tender to your liking. Drain and serve with salmon and potatoes; check for any remaining fish bones before eating.
