This deliciously hearty meal is loaded with nutritious vegetables and salmon, making it nutrient dense and super healthy. Easy to make and very filling, the salmon is wonderfully tender and moist in the oven baked this way!
I like to make a large batch of AIP Dairy-Free Cheese Sauce as it freezes so well. Having it on hand will reduce your meal prep time when you come to make this meal again, or you can use it for AIP pasta dishes, check out my other recipes.
