Baked Salmon with Roasted Vegetables

Ingredients

• 1½ lb salmon fillets
• 4 cup broccoli florets
• 2 bell peppers
• 1 red onion
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp paprika
• ½ tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 lemon (optional)
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley (optional)

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Chop bell peppers and red onion into 1-inch pieces. In a large bowl, toss broccoli florets, chopped bell peppers, and red onion with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until evenly coated.
3. Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on one half of the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes.
4. While vegetables roast, pat salmon fillets dry. Season salmon with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
5. After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Push the roasted vegetables to one side and place the seasoned salmon fillets on the other side of the baking sheet.
6. Return to the oven and bake for another 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and vegetables are tender-crisp.
7. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh lemon wedges and chopped parsley, if desired.
