To do this trick, you’ll need to be patient in order to bathe the salmon with some wine, spices and let it sit in the fridge for at least 8 to 10 hours. That’s why it’s recommended to marinate the salmon overnight.

The first thing you need to do is to place the salmon fillets in a baking pan.
Then, add all the spices along with the wine, garlic, and salt.
Afterward, cover the pan with some food wrapping paper and let it stay in the fridge overnight. The flavor of the fish will be delicious due to its marinade.
Once that time has passed, peel and cut the vegetables and potatoes in slices or chunks. Make sure that they’re not too thick.
When the vegetables are ready, preheat the oven to 180 ºC (360 ºF).
Then, take the tray with the salmon out of the fridge, pour the marinade into a seperate container and set it to the side, and then add the vegetables, leek, and oil. The marinade will brown the fish as it bakes.
Cover the fish and tray will aluminum foil, and place them in the oven.
You must uncover the foil to flip the fillets from time to time. After around 15 minutes, add the marinade and bake for another 15 minutes.
Finally, take the tray out of the oven, let it cool down a bit and serve with potatoes and vegetables. You can also add a little of the marinade for a better flavor.
At this point, you can serve yourself a dish and enjoy your delicious baked salmon meal!
