Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 Salmon Fillets (about 6 oz each), skin on or off, wild-caught if possible for best flavor.
  • 3 cups Broccoli Florets cut into bite-sized pieces.
  • 2 Bell Peppers any color (I love a mix of red and yellow for vibrancy), cored and cut into 1-inch strips.
  • 1 bunch Asparagus (about 1 lb), woody ends trimmed.
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes whole.
  • 1/2 medium Red Onion sliced thinly.
Seasoning & Oil
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil plus extra for drizzling.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika (smoked paprika adds a lovely depth!).
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Dill (optional, but fantastic with salmon).
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt or to taste.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper or to taste.
For Serving & Garnish
  • 1 Lemon half sliced for roasting, half for fresh juice to serve.
  • Fresh Parsley or Dill For garnish (optional).

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Large Rimmed Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Large Bowl
  • Small Bowl

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine broccoli, bell peppers, asparagus, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, half of the dried dill, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper; toss to coat.
Cooking
  1. Spread the seasoned vegetables on the baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes until softened and lightly colored.
  2. While vegetables roast, pat salmon fillets dry. In a small bowl, whisk 1 tablespoon olive oil, remaining dried dill, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, then rub onto salmon fillets.
  3. After initial vegetable roasting, remove the sheet from the oven, push vegetables aside, and place salmon fillets on the empty areas with a few lemon slices.
  4. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for another 12-18 minutes until salmon flakes easily and vegetables are tender-crisp.
Serving
  1. Carefully remove the pan from the oven. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the cooked salmon and vegetables. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For easier cleanup, ensure your baking sheet is generously lined with parchment paper. Customize your vegetables based on what’s in season or your personal preferences. Ensure salmon is cooked through to at least 145°F (63°C) internal temperature for food safety. Also, for meal prepping, divide into individual portions after cooling and store in airtight containers for up to 3-4 days.
