Baked Salmon with Roasted Vegetables Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets
- 2 cups of mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, and red onions), chopped
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or other preferred herbs)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the Vegetables:
- In a large bowl, toss the chopped mixed vegetables with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the seasoned vegetables in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the Vegetables:
- Place the baking sheet with the vegetables in the preheated oven and roast for about 15-20 minutes, or until they start to become tender and slightly caramelized. Stir the vegetables halfway through cooking.
- Prepare the Salmon:
- While the vegetables are roasting, brush the salmon fillets with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Bake the Salmon:
- After the vegetables have roasted for about 15-20 minutes, push them to the sides of the baking sheet to make space for the salmon fillets.
- Place the seasoned salmon fillets in the center of the baking sheet.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve:
- Once the salmon and vegetables are done, remove them from the oven.
- Divide the roasted vegetables onto plates and top each portion with a baked salmon fillet.
- Serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the salmon and vegetables.
