Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- 1 pound asparagus, trimmed
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Lemon slices (for serving)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Arrange the vegetables: Spread the asparagus, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, red onion, and zucchini evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle half of the lemon-garlic sauce over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
- Add the salmon: Place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet, skin-side down, nestled among the vegetables. Drizzle the remaining lemon-garlic sauce over the salmon.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender.
- Serve: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve the salmon and veggies with lemon slices and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
