Lemon herb baked salmon with roasted veggies is a tender, flaky, and zesty dish that makes dinner delightfully easy and healthy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Toss baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper, and half the herbs. Spread on the pan and roast for 15 minutes.
  3. Remove from oven. Add asparagus and cherry tomatoes to the tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season lightly.
  4. Place salmon fillets in the center. Rub with remaining olive oil, garlic, paprika, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  5. Top salmon with fresh lemon slices.
  6. Return to oven and bake 12–15 minutes, until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Sprinkle fresh parsley over everything before serving.

Notes

  • Pat salmon dry before seasoning for better browning.
  • Don’t overcook — salmon continues cooking after baking.
  • Broil 2 minutes at the end for extra golden edges.
