Description
A simple recipe for baking salmon fillets and zucchini together on one pan with lemon and herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 2 medium zucchini, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the zucchini slices on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
- Place the salmon fillets on the other side of the baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, oregano, thyme, and garlic powder.
- Brush the herb mixture evenly over the tops of the salmon fillets. Season the salmon with salt and pepper.
- Arrange the lemon slices on top of the salmon fillets.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time depends on the thickness of your fillets.
- Remove from the oven. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute other firm vegetables like asparagus or broccoli florets for the zucchini.
- For extra flavor, you can squeeze fresh lemon juice over the dish after baking.
