Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

  • 4 salmon fillets (fresh or thawed)

Vegetables

  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 zucchini, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 small red onion, chopped

Seasonings & Oils

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Fresh dill, chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 lemon, sliced (or juice of 1 lemon)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and chop the bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and red onion into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and slice the lemon.
  2. Toss and Season the Veggies: In a large bowl, place the chopped vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil, add minced garlic, salt, pepper, and your choice of fresh herbs like dill or parsley. Toss everything together to coat the veggies evenly.
  3. Arrange Everything on the Sheet Pan: Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly across the pan. Nestle the salmon fillets skin-side down among the vegetables. Season the salmon with salt, pepper, paprika, and a drizzle of olive oil. Lay lemon slices on top of each fillet.
  4. Roast to Perfection: Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
  5. Finish with Fresh Herbs: Once out of the oven, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley or dill on top for a fresh, herbal lift before serving.

Notes

  • Choose even-sized vegetables to ensure uniform roasting.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan to allow proper roasting and crisp edges.
  • Use fresh herbs at the end to enhance vibrant flavors.
  • Check salmon thickness and adjust cooking time to avoid drying out.
  • Line the pan with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easier cleanup.
