How to make Salmon Potato Bake
The full method is in the recipe card at the end of this post. So I won't run through the complete method here. However, I will cover my top tips:
- you'll need a baking dish (at least 3L capacity) with a lid
- make sure you slice the onion and potato finely
- don't get too fussed about the layers – you just want to make sure you get a bit of everything with each bite.
