Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 salmon fillets
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 bell pepper
- 1 zucchini
Supporting Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Finishing Touches:
- 1 lemon (juice)
- Lemon slices
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F and grab a large rimmed baking sheet. Line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Chop your broccoli into 1-inch florets, slice the bell pepper into thin strips, and cut the zucchini into half-moon shapes about ½-inch thick. Halve your cherry tomatoes.
- Toss all the vegetables with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper in a mixing bowl until evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned vegetables across the baking sheet in a single layer, creating space between each piece for even roasting.
- Pat your salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them on top of the vegetables. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over the salmon.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano directly onto the salmon fillets.
- Roast the sheet pan in the preheated 425°F oven for 12-15 minutes, until the salmon reaches 145°F internal temperature and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove the pan from the oven and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the entire dish. Garnish with additional lemon slices if desired before serving hot.
Notes
- Swap different veggies like bell peppers or zucchini to match your seasonal produce or personal taste preferences.
- Pat salmon dry before seasoning to ensure a crispy, golden exterior that seals in moisture.
- Line your sheet pan with parchment paper for easier cleanup and preventing sticking.
- Check salmon’s doneness by its internal temperature reaching 145°F and looking opaque with easy flaking.
