Ingredients Needed
* 2 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 1 teaspoon dried dill
* 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
* Salt and black pepper to taste
* 1 cup broccoli florets
* 1 cup chopped bell peppers (any color)
* 1 cup chopped zucchini
* 1/2 red onion, cut into wedges
Step By Step Making
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, dried dill, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Place the chopped broccoli, bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion wedges onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle about half of the olive oil mixture over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly. Spread them out in a single layer.
5. Roast the vegetables for 15 minutes.
6. While the vegetables are roasting, pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Place them on a plate and brush the remaining olive oil mixture over the top of each fillet. Season with a little extra salt and pepper if desired.
7. After the vegetables have roasted for 15 minutes, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Push the vegetables to one side of the baking sheet to make space for the salmon.
8. Place the seasoned salmon fillets onto the empty side of the baking sheet.
9. Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue roasting for another 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender and slightly browned.
10. Serve the salmon and roasted vegetables immediately.
