Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz / 170 g each), skin-on or off based on preference
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (grated from one lemon)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup baby carrots, peeled and halved lengthwise
  • 1 cup asparagus spears, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 cup sugar snap peas, trimmed
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnishes: lemon wedges, extra fresh herbs (parsley, dill, or chives)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped parsley, dill, olive oil, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Stir well to blend.
  3. In a large bowl, toss baby carrots, asparagus, sugar snap peas, and red onion wedges with olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the vegetables evenly on the baking sheet, leaving space for the salmon fillets.
  5. Place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet among the vegetables or on one side. Brush each fillet generously with the garlic herb marinade, letting some drizzle onto the veggies.
  6. Roast in the oven for 12–15 minutes, depending on salmon thickness, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily and the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
  7. Remove from oven and let rest for a couple of minutes. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over salmon and vegetables. Garnish with extra herbs if desired.

Notes

Let salmon sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before roasting for even cooking. Don’t overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming. Use fresh herbs for best flavor. If salmon is thick, add 2-3 extra minutes of cooking time. For crispier skin, place fillets skin-side down and do not flip.
