Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

1 lemon (zested and juiced)

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 zucchini, sliced

1 cup asparagus, trimmed

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

      Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour half of the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are well-coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the veggies.

        Prepare the Veggies: On a large baking sheet, arrange the cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, zucchini, and asparagus. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the veggies and toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper if desired.

          Add the Salmon: Make space in the center of the veggies and place the marinated salmon fillets on the baking sheet, skin-side down.

            Bake: Bake the salmon and veggies in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the veggies are tender.

              Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley and a few extra lemon slices if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your vibrant, flavorful one-pan meal!
