Ingredients
For the Salmon:
- 4 fresh salmon fillets skin-on or skinless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Vegetables:
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup zucchini slices
- 1 cup bell peppers any color, sliced
- ½ cup baby carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Garnish:
- Lemon wedges
- Fresh parsley or dill
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Prepare the Salmon:
- Place the salmon fillets on one side of the prepared sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Use a brush to coat the salmon evenly.
Prepare the Vegetables:
- In a mixing bowl, toss the broccoli florets, zucchini slices, bell peppers, and baby carrots with olive oil, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Arrange on the Sheet Pan:
- Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the opposite side of the salmon on the sheet pan. Try not to overcrowd the pan, as it can prevent the veggies from roasting properly.
Bake the Meal:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), and the vegetables are tender. For extra crispy veggies, broil for the last 2-3 minutes.
Garnish and Serve:
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon and vegetables. Garnish with parsley or dill. Serve immediately.
