Salmon with Roasted Vegetables

Salmon with roasted vegetables is a nutritious and delicious meal that’s easy to prepare. Here’s a simple recipe to make it:

Ingredients

For the Salmon:

• 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh herbs (such as dill, parsley, or thyme), chopped for garnish

For the Roasted Vegetables:

• 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
• 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 large yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 large zucchini, sliced
• 1 red onion, cut into wedges
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prepare Vegetables: In a large bowl, toss the baby potatoes, bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well coated. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
3. Roast Vegetables: Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
4. Prepare Salmon: While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the salmon. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture over the salmon fillets.
5. Add Salmon to Sheet: After the vegetables have roasted for 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Move the vegetables to one side of the sheet and place the salmon fillets on the other side.
6. Continue Roasting: Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
7. Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Garnish the salmon with fresh herbs and serve immediately with the roasted vegetables.

Tips

• Salmon Doneness: To ensure the salmon is perfectly cooked, the internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
• Vegetable Variety: Feel free to use other vegetables such as carrots, Brussels sprouts, or asparagus based on your preference.
• Flavor Variations: Add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the vegetables before roasting for added flavor. You can also marinate the salmon in a mix of soy sauce, honey, and ginger for an Asian-inspired twist.

This recipe is both healthy and flavorful, making it a great option for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. Enjoy!
