Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Large bowl
  • Small bowl
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 4-6 oz salmon fillets skin-on or off
  • Broccoli florets fresh or frozen (no need to thaw if frozen)
  • Bell peppers any color, sliced into strips or chunks
  • 1 Red onion cut into wedges or thick slices
  • Asparagus spears trimmed

Seasoning & Dressing

  • 3 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Dried dill
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 Lemon for slicing and serving

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • In a large bowl, combine the broccoli, bell peppers, red onion, and asparagus; drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  • Toss the vegetables well to coat evenly and spread them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 10-15 minutes until tender-crisp.

Cooking

  • While vegetables roast, pat salmon fillets dry; in a small bowl, mix remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon dried dill, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
  • Brush or rub the seasoning mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
  • After initial roasting, remove the sheet pan, arrange salmon fillets and lemon slices among the vegetables, and return to the oven.
  • Bake for another 12-18 minutes until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily, and vegetables are tender and caramelized.

Serving

  • Remove from oven, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon and vegetables, and serve immediately.

Notes

For crispier vegetables, ensure they are not overcrowded on the baking sheet. Use wild-caught salmon for a more pronounced flavor and higher omega-3 content.
