Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 2 bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange), sliced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 4 lemon slices (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano or thyme
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Place the sliced bell peppers and cherry tomatoes in the baking dish.
  3. Toss the vegetables with olive oil, garlic, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano or thyme.
  4. Roast the vegetables for about 10 minutes until they begin to soften and release juices.
  5. Remove the baking dish from the oven and place the salmon fillets on top of the vegetables.
  6. Season the salmon with salt, black pepper, paprika, olive oil, and lemon juice.
  7. Add lemon slices on top if desired.
  8. Return the dish to the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
  10. Serve warm directly from the baking dish.

Notes

  • Zucchini or red onion can be added for more vegetables and flavor.
  • Feta cheese sprinkled on top after baking adds creaminess.
  • Chili flakes can be added for a spicy variation.
  • Olives create a Mediterranean-inspired flavor.
  • Asparagus may be used instead of bell peppers.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2–3 days.
  • Reheat salmon gently in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 10 minutes.
  • Avoid microwaving if possible to keep the salmon tender.
  • Frozen salmon should be fully thawed and patted dry before baking.
