Ingredients
- Salmon fillets
- Bell peppers
- Zucchini
- Asparagus
- Cherry tomatoes
- Olive oil
- Lemon juice
- Garlic powder
- Salt
- Pepper
- Fresh herbs (dill or parsley)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for the vegetables.
- Chop your chosen vegetables into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking. Place them in a large bowl.
- Drizzle olive oil over the veggies, add salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings you like. Toss everything together until well coated.
- Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- While the vegetables are roasting, season the salmon fillets with olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the salmon for about 4-6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness, until it flakes easily with a fork.
- Once everything is cooked, place the grilled salmon on a plate alongside the roasted vegetables. Garnish with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon for an extra zing.
