Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs, 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley, 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill, 1 tbsp lemon zest, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil into the mixture and stir until crumbly and moist.
2. Step 2: Place 2 salmon fillets (6 oz each) on a lined sheet pan. Pat dry and brush each fillet with 1 tbsp olive oil. Press the herb-panko mixture evenly over the top of each fillet, forming a crust.
3. Step 3: Arrange 1 large carrot, 1 medium zucchini, and 1 small red onion, all diced into 1/4-inch cubes, around the salmon on the sheet pan. Drizzle vegetables with remaining olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
4. Step 4: Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and vegetables are tender with slightly crispy edges.
5. Step 5: Remove from oven and serve immediately, garnished with extra lemon wedges if desired.
