Instructions
Creating Mediterranean Salmon is a breeze if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
3. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade on top. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
4. Prepare the Vegetables: On a large baking sheet, add the sliced bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with the remaining marinade, tossing to coat evenly.
5. Arrange the Salmon: Nestle the marinated salmon fillets among the vegetables on the baking sheet, skin-side down if using skin-on fillets.
6. Bake: Roast in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
7. Broil (optional): For an extra touch, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes to achieve a light char on the salmon and vegetables.
8. Garnish: Remove from the oven and sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish. Add lemon wedges on the side.
9. Serve: Plate the salmon and vegetables, ensuring to drizzle any pan juices over the top for added flavor.
These straightforward steps will lead you to a delicious Mediterranean Salmon that’s sure to impress!
