👩🍳 Instructions
1
Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. In a shallow dish, whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped dill, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Add salmon, ensuring it's coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.
2
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). On a large baking sheet, toss asparagus, cherry tomatoes, red onion, zucchini, and bell pepper with 2 tbsp olive oil, dried oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. Spread in a single layer.
3
Roast vegetables in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender-crisp and slightly browned.
4
While vegetables roast, heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high. Clean and lightly oil the grates. Place marinated salmon fillets (skin-side down if applicable) on the hot grill.
5
Grill salmon for 4-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will vary based on thickness.
6
Serve grilled salmon immediately alongside the roasted vegetables. Garnish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and fresh dill or parsley, if desired.
💡 Notes
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the salmon marinade. Leftover salmon is excellent flaked into salads or sandwiches. If baking, place salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12-18 minutes.
