Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole lemon
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 pound asparagus
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 1 whole red bell pepper
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Rub each fillet with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place them skin-side down onto the prepared baking sheet.
Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the salmon, being careful to catch any seeds. Finely chop the garlic and mix it with the thyme and rosemary, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
Prepare the vegetables: snap off the tough ends of the asparagus and discard. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Slice the red bell pepper and zucchini into 1/2-inch wide strips.
Arrange the prepared vegetables around the salmon on the baking sheet, trying not to overlap them too much. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the vegetables and season everything with salt and ground black pepper.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Arrange each salmon fillet on a plate with a generous portion of the roasted vegetables. Serve immediately.
