Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat 6 oz salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then brush with 1 tbsp avocado oil. Rub 1 tsp grated fresh turmeric and 1 tsp lemon zest evenly over the salmon.
  2. Step 2: Arrange 1 cup cherry tomatoes and 1/2 cup zucchini chunks in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tsp avocado oil, season with salt, and roast for 12 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp and slightly caramelized.
  3. Step 3: Place the turmeric-marinated salmon on top of the roasted vegetables, skin-side down. Return to oven and cook for 10-12 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill before serving.

How do I store leftover Turmeric-Glazed Salmon with Lemon-Dill Roasted Veggies?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep wild-caught salmon fillets from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Turmeric-Glazed Salmon with Lemon-Dill Roasted Veggies?

How do I scale Turmeric-Glazed Salmon with Lemon-Dill Roasted Veggies for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 1 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 1). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.

Mediterranean whole30 like this pair well with a simple grain (rice, couscous, or crusty bread), a quick salad with acid (lemon vinaigrette, pickled onions), and a pan sauce or yogurt-based dip. Tap "Plan a meal with the AI" to get specific side suggestions.
