Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound, trimmed asparagus
- 1 cup, halved cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium, sliced red onion
- 1 large, sliced zucchini
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Brush the garlic-dill mixture over the top of each fillet, ensuring even coverage.
In a separate bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil with the asparagus, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and zucchini. Toss until the vegetables are well coated.
Arrange the seasoned vegetables around the salmon on the baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer for even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes. Serve the roasted salmon with a generous portion of the roasted seasonal vegetables on the side.
Garnish with additional fresh dill or a squeeze of lemon if desired, and enjoy a nutritious, high-protein meal.
