Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

1 cup asparagus, trimmed

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup bell peppers (mixed colors), sliced

1 medium red onion, sliced

4 cloves garlic, minced

3 tablespoons olive oil

Juice of 1 large lemon

Zest of 1 lemon

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your salmon cooks evenly and quickly.

    Prepare the Veggies: In a large mixing bowl, combine the asparagus, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, and red onion. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, add minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well until the vegetables are evenly coated.

      Arrange on the Pan: Spread the vegetable mixture evenly on a large baking sheet or a rimmed baking pan. Create little wells for the salmon fillets among the veggies.

        Season the Salmon: Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the salmon fillets. Season with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of paprika for added flavor.

          Bake: Place the salmon fillets in the prepared wells on the baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the veggies are tender.

            Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus.
