Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato chunks, red onion wedges, bell pepper strips, and zucchini rounds with 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and oregano until well coated.
- Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they're not overcrowded. Bake for 15 minutes.
- While vegetables are cooking, pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Remove the baking sheet from oven and push vegetables to the edges, creating space in the center. Place salmon fillets in the cleared spaces.
- Drizzle lemon juice over salmon and vegetables, then sprinkle lemon zest on top. Return to oven and bake for 10-12 more minutes, until salmon flakes easily with a fork and vegetables are tender.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
Salmon is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. If your vegetables aren't tender after the full cooking time, remove the salmon and continue cooking vegetables for a few more minutes. Leftovers keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated gently in the oven.
