Ingredients
• 4 salmon fillets
• 2 lemons, juice and zest
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt to taste
• Black pepper to taste
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium zucchini, sliced
• 1 medium yellow squash, sliced
• 1 red onion, cut into wedges
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
• 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into strips
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and zest, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, chopped dill, chopped parsley, and dried thyme to create the marinade.
- Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper to taste, then place them in a shallow dish or a sealable plastic bag.
- Pour half of the marinade over the salmon fillets, making sure they are well coated. Reserve the rest of the marinade for the vegetables. Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
- While the salmon is marinating, prepare the vegetables by placing the cherry tomatoes, sliced zucchini, sliced yellow squash, red onion wedges, and red and yellow bell pepper strips on a large baking sheet.
- Drizzle the remaining marinade over the vegetables, and gently toss to ensure they're evenly coated.
- Season the vegetables with salt and pepper to taste.
- Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, until they start to soften and caramelize.
- After the vegetables have roasted for 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and create space among the vegetables to place the marinated salmon fillets.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue to roast for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle the roasted vegetables with balsamic vinegar, giving them a gentle toss to combine.
- Serve the lemon-herb salmon hot, accompanied by the roasted vegetables.
