Ingredients
Scale
- 4 skin-on salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
- 1 small red onion, quartered
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lemon (zest and juice)
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 3 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
- Sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare vegetables: slice zucchini, chop bell peppers, quarter red onion, halve cherry tomatoes, and mince garlic. Pat salmon dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- In a large bowl, toss vegetables with 2 tablespoons olive oil, half the minced garlic, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon thyme, salt, and black pepper. Spread them evenly on a large baking sheet.
- Roast vegetables in the oven for 10-12 minutes, until they begin to soften.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, remaining garlic, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon thyme, lemon zest, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
- Remove vegetables from oven. Make space among the vegetables and place salmon fillets skin-side down. Brush salmon with the herb oil mixture.
- Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove from oven and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the entire pan. Garnish with chopped parsley and additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat gently in a 300°F (150°C) oven covered with foil to prevent drying out.
- Top with crumbled feta or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a flavor boost.
