Ingredients
  

For the Salmon:

4 salmon fillets (approximately 6 oz each)

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Lemon slices (for an elegant garnish)

For the Veggies:

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 bell pepper (any color you prefer), sliced into strips

1 red onion, cut into wedges

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). To facilitate easy cleanup, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Salmon Marinade:

      - In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, along with a sprinkle of salt and freshly ground pepper.

        - Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over each fillet, ensuring they are well-coated. Allow the salmon to marinate for 10-15 minutes while you prep the veggies.

          Prepare the Vegetables:

            - In a large mixing bowl, take the halved cherry tomatoes, sliced zucchini, bell pepper strips, and onion wedges.

              - Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and dried Italian seasoning. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated in the oil and spices.

                Arrange Ingredients on the Sheet Pan:

                  - Spread the seasoned vegetables onto one half of the prepared baking sheet, leaving ample space for the salmon on the opposite side.

                    - Take the marinated salmon fillets and arrange them skin-side down in the open space of the baking sheet.

                      Bake:

                        - Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. The salmon should be flaky and tender when tested with a fork, while the vegetables should be cooked through and lightly charred.

                          Serve:

                            - Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Garnish the salmon fillets with fresh lemon slices and additional herbs if desired. Serve warm alongside the roasted vegetables for an appealing and nutritious meal.

                              Enjoy your vibrant, healthy dinner that’s bursting with flavor and can be prepared in a flash!
