Main Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets skin-on or off
  • 1 head broccoli cut into florets
  • 2 bell peppers any color, chopped
  • 1 red onion cut into wedges
  • 1 zucchini chopped OR 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed

Seasoning

  • 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Optional: paprika, dried dill, Italian seasoning, or a squeeze of lemon juice

Optional for serving

  • fresh parsley or dill
  • balsamic glaze
  • feta cheese
  • quinoa
  • brown rice
  • lemon-dill yogurt sauce
  • pesto

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Wash and chop all vegetables into bite-sized, uniform pieces.
  • In a large bowl, toss the chopped vegetables with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then spread them in a single layer on the baking sheet.

Cooking

  • Roast the vegetables for 15-20 minutes, until they begin to soften and caramelize.
  • While vegetables roast, pat salmon fillets dry and season them with salt, pepper, and desired spices.
  • Remove the sheet pan from the oven, push vegetables to the sides, and place salmon fillets in the center.
  • Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 12-18 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.

Serving

  • Serve immediately, optionally with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

Notes

For even cooking, ensure vegetables are cut to a similar size. You can easily adjust the seasonings to your preference or use a pre-made spice blend. To check for doneness, the internal temperature of salmon should reach 145°F (63°C).
