Description
This One-Pan Roasted Salmon with Mediterranean Vegetables is an easy, healthy dinner bursting with color and flavor. Perfectly cooked salmon fillets are nestled over garlicky, herb-roasted zucchini, squash, and cherry tomatoes — all with a zesty lemon finish.
Ingredients
4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
1 Spanish onion, roughly chopped
1 zucchini, chopped
1 summer squash, chopped
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried marjoram (or fresh, chopped)
1 lemon (zest and juice)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease or line a large roasting pan with parchment paper.
2. Roughly chop the onion, zucchini, and summer squash. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
3. In a large bowl, toss the chopped vegetables with olive oil, minced garlic, marjoram, salt, and pepper.
4. Spread vegetables evenly in the roasting pan. Create small spaces or “nests” for the salmon fillets.
5. Place salmon fillets skin-side down on top of the vegetables. Drizzle a bit of olive oil on each fillet, squeeze lemon juice over the top, and sprinkle with lemon zest.
6. Roast for 15–20 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
7. Remove from oven and serve immediately. Spoon some of the roasted veggies and juices over each fillet for maximum flavor.
Notes
Try using fresh oregano or thyme if marjoram isn’t available.
Serve with couscous, quinoa, or warm pita bread for a complete meal.
To make it dairy-free and Whole30 compliant, ensure the salmon is not pre-marinated.
