Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Dice 1 medium zucchini into 1/2-inch cubes and arrange on the sheet with 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes.
- Step 2: Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil over the vegetables, then sprinkle with 1/2 tsp garlic powder and 1/4 tsp sea salt; toss to coat evenly and spread in a single layer.
- Step 3: Place 6 oz salmon fillet on top of the vegetables, skin-side down, and season with an additional 1/4 tsp sea salt.
- Step 4: Roast for 12-14 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender with slightly charred edges (check internal temperature at 145°F/63°C).
