Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Whisk well to make a marinade.
Toss the cherry tomatoes, zucchini, red pepper, and broccoli florets with half the marinade. Spread evenly on the prepared sheet pan.
Nestle the salmon fillets among the vegetables. Brush salmon with remaining marinade.
Roast in the oven for 15-18 minutes, until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork and veggies are tender-crisp.
Taste a vegetable and adjust with a squeeze more lemon or a pinch more salt if desired. Serve immediately.
