Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 medium bell peppers
- 1 large red onion
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (350-400°F). If using an oven, preheat to 400°F and prepare a grill pan or baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Brush 1 tablespoon of the olive oil mixture over both sides of the salmon fillets. Set aside the remaining mixture for the vegetables.
Cut the zucchini and bell peppers into thin slices. Slice the red onion into wedges. Keep the cherry tomatoes whole.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the zucchini, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes with the remaining olive oil mixture until evenly coated.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill or grill pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. If using the oven, bake for 12-15 minutes.
While the salmon cooks, place the vegetables on the grill (using a grill basket if necessary) and grill for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, or until charred and tender. If using an oven, spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes.
Once everything is fully cooked, remove from the grill or oven and serve the salmon alongside the grilled vegetables.
Garnish with extra fresh thyme or a lemon wedge, if desired, and serve immediately.
