Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Juice of 2 large lemons (approximately 1/4 cup)

Zest of 1 lemon

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 teaspoons fresh dill, chopped

2 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped

1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips

1 yellow zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup asparagus, trimmed

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Salmon: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped dill, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    Prepare the Vegetables: While the salmon is marinating, wash and prepare your vegetables. In a separate large bowl, toss the sliced red bell pepper, yellow zucchini, halved cherry tomatoes, and trimmed asparagus with a drizzle of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. For a flavor boost, optionally add a splash of balsamic vinegar and mix thoroughly to coat.

      Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, place it on the stovetop and heat it over medium-high as well to achieve a good sear.

        Grill the Salmon: Remove the marinated salmon fillets from the dish, shaking off excess marinade if necessary. Place each fillet skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 5-6 minutes or until you see grill marks forming. Carefully flip the fillets using a spatula and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked to your liking.

          Grill the Vegetables: While the salmon grills, place the vegetable mixture on the grill either directly or in a grill basket. Grill for approximately 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the veggies are tender, slightly charred, and vibrant in color.

            Serve: Once the salmon and vegetables are perfectly grilled, transfer the salmon fillets to serving plates alongside the colorful grilled vegetables. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the salmon for an extra flavor boost. For added visual appeal, sprinkle fresh herbs as a garnish.

              Enjoy: Serve immediately while the dish is hot, and savor the bright and zesty flavors of this wholesome and delightful meal!
