Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium Orange bell pepper
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 large Carrot
- 1 small Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Finely dice the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, orange bell pepper, zucchini, carrot, and red onion to create a colorful vegetable confetti mixture. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush each fillet generously with the marinade.
Sprinkle the vegetable mixture evenly over the salmon fillets, pressing it down lightly so it adheres to the surface of the fish.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the Salmon Confetti warm with your choice of side dishes, such as rice, quinoa, or a fresh green salad.
