Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon fillets skin on or off, your choice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 zucchini sliced
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

  • Prep the Veggies: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the broccoli, red bell pepper, and zucchini on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of paprika. Toss to coat evenly and set aside.
  • Prepare the Salmon: In a small bowl, mix together the garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture onto each salmon fillet.
  • Cook the Veggies: Roast the veggies in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, until they are slightly tender and lightly browned.
  • Cook the Salmon: While the veggies cook, heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add a bit of oil if needed. Place the salmon fillets, skin-side down if keeping the skin, into the pan and cook for 4–5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve: Once everything is cooked, serve the salmon on a plate with the roasted veggies on the side. Garnish with fresh lemon wedges for an extra zesty kick!
