Instructions

1. Heat the oven
   Preheat to 425°F / 220°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.

2. Roast the vegetables first
   Toss veggies with olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional seasoning.
   Spread out in a single layer.
   Roast for 15 minutes, stirring once.

3. Prep the salmon
   Pat salmon dry. Place on the tray among the vegetables.
   Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with garlic.
   Add lemon slices or zest on top.

4. Bake
   Return tray to oven and bake 10–12 minutes, until salmon flakes easily and veggies are tender with crispy edges.

5. Finish & serve
   Sprinkle with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Pro Tips

• Thicker fillets may need 2–3 extra minutes.

• For extra flavor: brush salmon with Dijon mustard or honey-Dijon before baking.

• Want crispier veggies? Roast them 5 minutes longer before adding salmon.
