Ingredients

Scale

Salmon

  • 4 fresh salmon fillets, skin-on
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, or dill), chopped, about 1 tablespoon

Vegetables

  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 zucchini, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed or finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, or dill), chopped, about 1 tablespoon

Finishing

  • 1 fresh lemon, juiced

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse the salmon fillets and pat dry with paper towels. Chop vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Mince or crush garlic and prepare fresh herbs.
  2. Toss the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine chopped vegetables with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and fresh herbs. Toss well to coat evenly. Spread the vegetables out onto a parchment-lined sheet pan in an even layer.
  3. Add Salmon to the Sheet Pan: Place salmon fillets skin-side down among the vegetables on the sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and additional herbs. Avoid overcrowding to allow air circulation and crisp the salmon skin.
  4. Roast Until Perfect: Roast in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on thickness. The salmon is done when opaque and flaky, and the vegetables are tender with slight caramelization.
  5. Finish with Fresh Lemon: Remove from oven and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon and vegetables to brighten the flavors.

Notes

  • Choose uniform-sized vegetables to ensure even cooking.
  • Line the sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to allow proper roasting and crisping.
  • Pat salmon dry to achieve crispy skin.
  • Check salmon doneness starting at 12 minutes to avoid overcooking.
