Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound baby carrots
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium red onion, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the salmon marinade.
Place the salmon fillets on one side of the prepared baking sheet and brush them generously with the marinade. Set aside while you prepare the vegetables.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the baby carrots, broccoli florets, red bell pepper slices, red onion slices, and cherry tomatoes.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the vegetables, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and toss until evenly coated.
Spread the vegetables out on the other side of the baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer for even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, and the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve the salmon alongside the roasted vegetables on a plate and optionally garnish with fresh parsley or a lemon wedge for extra flavor.
