• 2 medium leeks, sliced
• 1 cup (150g) broccoli florets

Method

- Toss the sliced potatoes, leeks, and broccoli with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a large baking tray.
- Roast for 20 minutes, stirring halfway, until the vegetables begin to soften.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together almond milk, Greek yogurt, whole-wheat flour, garlic, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice.
- Cook until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove the tray from the oven and place the salmon fillets on top of the vegetables. Pour the creamy sauce over the entire tray.
- Return the tray to the oven and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.
