Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with 1 tbsp olive oil, and season with salt. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are crisp and fish flakes easily.
  2. Step 2: While salmon cooks, slice zucchini into 1/4-inch half-moons and bell peppers into thin strips. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, dill, and salt. Roast on a separate sheet for 20 minutes until edges are caramelized and tender.
  3. Step 3: Whisk together lime juice, remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, and pumpkin seeds. Toss roasted vegetables with the dressing until evenly coated. Slice avocado and arrange over salmon, drizzling with extra dressing just before serving.
