Tender salmon paired with a colorful mix of roasted vegetables on a single pan for effortless cooking.

# Components:

→ Fish

01 - 4 skinless salmon fillets, 6 oz each
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 lemon, zested and juiced
04 - 1 teaspoon dried dill or 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - ½ teaspoon salt
07 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper

→ Vegetables

08 - 1 red bell pepper, sliced
09 - 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
10 - 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
11 - 1 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds
12 - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
13 - 1 cup broccoli florets

→ Garnish (optional)

14 - Lemon wedges
15 - Fresh parsley, chopped

# Method:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
02 - Combine olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, dill, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
03 - Arrange the sliced vegetables evenly on the lined sheet pan. Drizzle half of the olive oil mixture over them and toss gently to coat.
04 - Nestle the salmon fillets among the vegetables on the pan. Brush the tops of the fillets with the remaining olive oil mixture.
05 - Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 18 to 20 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender.
06 - Remove from the oven and optionally garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges. Serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • One pan means one cleanup, which honestly might be the best part of dinner.
  • The salmon stays impossibly moist while the vegetables caramelize at the edges, creating this perfect textural contrast.
  • It tastes restaurant-quality but comes together faster than you could order takeout.
02 -
  • Do not skip the parchment paper—it's not just for cleanup; it prevents the bottom vegetables from sticking and burning while the top finishes cooking.
  • The vegetables go in first and the salmon goes in partway through the prep because they cook at different rates; this timing ensures both finish at exactly the right moment.
03 -
  • Pat your salmon fillets dry before oiling—any surface moisture will steam rather than sear, and you want that gentle browning on top.
  • If your sheet pan is smaller than standard size, arrange vegetables in a single layer and roast them for 5 minutes before adding the salmon so everything finishes together.
