This baked salmon with vegetables recipe is a quick, healthy, and flavorful one-pan dinner perfect for busy nights or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each, skin-on or skinless)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 1 lemon (sliced and juiced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 4 cups mixed vegetables (broccoli, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, zucchini, or carrots)
  • 1 tsp dried herbs (thyme, oregano, or Italian seasoning)
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and chop your vegetables into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, toss them with 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp dried herbs, salt, and pepper.
  3. Arrange the vegetables on the baking sheet, leaving space in the center for the salmon fillets.
  4. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the center of the baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, squeeze fresh lemon juice over each fillet, and sprinkle with paprika, salt, and pepper.
  5. Place thin slices of lemon over the salmon fillets for extra flavor.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender.
  7. Optional: Broil for 2-3 minutes at the end for crispy edges.
  8. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let everything rest for 2 minutes. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Spread vegetables in a single layer for even cooking. Add softer vegetables like cherry tomatoes halfway through baking to prevent over-roasting. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill for added flavor.
