Ingredients
For the Salmon
4 salmon fillets
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
Salt, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
For the Roasted Veggies
2 cups broccoli florets
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1 red bell pepper, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
Prepare the Roasted Veggies
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss Veggies: In a large bowl, combine broccoli, cherry tomatoes, and red bell pepper. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Toss to coat.
Roast Veggies: Spread the veggies on a baking sheet and roast for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender and slightly charred.
Prepare the Salmon
Season Salmon: While the veggies are roasting, place the salmon fillets on a lined baking sheet. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, lemon pepper seasoning, and salt. Brush the mixture over the salmon.
Bake Salmon: Place the salmon in the oven (you can put it in with the veggies if there's space) and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Serve
Plate the Dish: Serve the buttery lemon pepper salmon alongside the roasted veggies, garnished with fresh parsley.
Tips and Variations
Add More Veggies: Feel free to use your favorite vegetables, like asparagus or zucchini.
Grill Option: For a smoky flavor, consider grilling the salmon instead of baking.
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
