Ingredients
- 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 lemon, sliced into wedges (for serving)
How to Make Herb-Crusted Salmon with Roasted Vegetables
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, combine the broccoli florets, sliced zucchini, and halved cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and half of the thyme leaves. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly.
- Spread the vegetables in a single layer on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, the remaining thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture over the top of each salmon fillet.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the empty side of the baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately with lemon wedges for squeezing over the salmon.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure not to overcrowd the vegetables on the baking sheet; this helps them roast rather than steam.
- For an extra crispy salmon skin, broil the fillets for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
- Feel free to adjust the herbs; dill or parsley can also add wonderful flavor.
Easy Variations
- Substitute any seasonal vegetables you have on hand, such as bell peppers or asparagus.
- For a spicy kick, sprinkle red pepper flakes over the vegetables before roasting.
- Try marinating the salmon fillets in lemon juice and herbs for 30 minutes before cooking for added flavor.
What to Serve With It
- Quinoa or brown rice for a hearty side
- A fresh green salad with a light vinaigrette
- Crusty whole-grain bread to soak up the delicious juices
- Steamed asparagus or green beans for added greens
