Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) on a large rimmed baking sheet. Arrange 2 medium sliced zucchini rounds, 1 pint cherry tomatoes, and 1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives around the salmon.
  3. Step 3: Drizzle the olive oil and herb mixture evenly over the salmon and vegetables. Toss the vegetables gently to coat.
  4. Step 4: Roast in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender and caramelized at edges.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and sprinkle 1 tsp lemon zest and 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley over the salmon and vegetables before serving warm.
