Ingredients
- 4 pieces, 6 oz each salmon fillets
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 4 tbsp, divided olive oil
- 2 tsp dried oregano

- 1 small, sliced into thin wedges red onion
- 1 1/2 tsp, divided salt

Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss 1 sliced medium red bell pepper, 1 sliced medium zucchini (1/2-inch rounds), and 1 sliced small red onion into thin wedges with 2 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 3/4 tsp salt, and 1/3 tsp black pepper. Spread evenly.
- Step 2: Roast the vegetables for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through for even browning.

- Step 4: Remove the pan from oven, nestle the salmon fillets among the vegetables, skin side down, and return to the oven. Roast for an additional 10-12 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- Step 5: Plate the salmon with the roasted vegetables and spoon any pan juices over the top to serve.
