Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (approximately 6 ounces each)

1 large lemon (zested and juiced)

4 cloves garlic (minced)

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)

1 medium zucchini (sliced into rounds)

1 bell pepper (sliced into strips)

1 cup broccoli florets

Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for cooking.

    Prepare the Marinade: In a small mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of olive oil, the juice and zest of the lemon, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until they are well blended and fragrant.

      Marinate the Salmon: Take the salmon fillets and place them in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour half of your prepared marinade over the salmon, making sure that each fillet is generously coated. Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to infuse the flavors.

        Prepare the Vegetables: While the salmon marinates, wash and chop the vegetables. In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, zucchini rounds, bell pepper strips, and broccoli florets. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the vegetables and toss them gently to ensure they are evenly coated.

          Assemble the Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spread the marinated vegetables out on the sheet in a single layer, making sure to leave space in the center for the salmon fillets.

            Bake: Carefully place the marinated salmon fillets on the baking sheet, positioning them skin-side down in the empty space you created. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, while the vegetables are tender and have developed a slight caramelization.

              Serve: Once baked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the dish to rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish the salmon and vegetables with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant meal!
