Ingredients:

• 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each), skin-on or skinless
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 small red onion, sliced
• Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
• In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to create a marinade for the salmon.
• Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if using skin-on fillets. Brush the marinade over the salmon fillets, coating them evenly.
• In a large bowl, toss the cubed sweet potato, broccoli florets, sliced red and yellow bell peppers, and red onion with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
• Spread the seasoned vegetables out on the baking sheet around the salmon fillets.
• Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender and caramelized, stirring the vegetables halfway through cooking.
• Once cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
• Carefully transfer the roasted vegetables and salmon fillets to serving plates.
• Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness and color.
• Serve hot and enjoy the delicious flavors and textures of Salmon with Roasted Vegetables!
