Ingredients
4 (6 oz) salmon fillets, skin-on or off
1 lb asparagus, tough ends trimmed
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 red bell pepper, cored and sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 lemon, thinly sliced (for baking)
Fresh dill or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the trimmed asparagus, cherry tomatoes, and sliced red bell pepper. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine.
Step 3: Place the vegetables on one side of the prepared sheet pan, spreading them into a single layer.
Step 4: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, dried oregano, dried thyme, garlic powder, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
Step 5: Place the salmon fillets on the other side of the sheet pan, leaving some space between them and the vegetables. Spoon or brush the herb-oil mixture evenly over each salmon fillet.
Step 6: Arrange a few thin lemon slices on top of each salmon fillet.
Step 7: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your salmon. The vegetables should be tender-crisp and slightly caramelized.
Step 8: Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Garnish with fresh chopped dill or parsley before serving immediately. Enjoy your delicious and healthy sheet pan salmon meal!
Notes
For best results, avoid overcrowding the sheet pan. If you're doubling the recipe, use two separate sheet pans or cook in batches. The internal temperature of cooked salmon should reach 145°F (63°C).
