Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon fillets about 6 ounces each
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup Kalamata olives pitted and sliced
  • 1 bell pepper diced (red or yellow)
  • 1 zucchini sliced
  • 1 lemon for juice and zest
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 teaspoons dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnishing

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This step is crucial to achieve that perfect bake.
  2. Prepare the Veggies: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, bell pepper, and zucchini. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 teaspoons of dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until well-coated.
  3. Arrange the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on a lined baking sheet. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and lemon juice. Sprinkle with the remaining oregano, salt, and pepper to taste.
  4. Add the Veggies: Spread the vegetable mixture around the salmon fillets in an even layer, creating a colorful array that’s just a feast for the eyes!
  5. Bake: Pop it into the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Squeeze fresh lemon juice over everything for that extra zing, garnish with parsley, and serve hot!
