Baked salmon is a staple in my kitchen and when paired with roasted potatoes, sautéed leeks, and a burst of green peas it becomes a truly unforgettable meal. I love serving this up on a weeknight when time is tight but flavors can't be compromised. It's also a showstopper for special occasions - the combination of textures and tastes is sure to impress. This dish is a masterclass in balancing health and flavor, making it a go-to for any time of year.
