Ingredients
- •4 pieces salmon fillets, skin-on or off
- •2 large bell peppers, any color, deseeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
- •1 large zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch half-moons
- •1 medium red onion, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
- •1 pint cherry tomatoes
- •0.5 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
- •3 garlic cloves, minced
- •0.3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- •1 large lemon, juiced and zested
- •1.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- •0.8 teaspoon salt
- •0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- •0.3 cup fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
- •0.3 cup feta cheese, crumbled, for garnish
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine the bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and Kalamata olives. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss well to coat all the vegetables evenly.
- 3
Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly tender and beginning to brown at the edges.
- 4
While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the salmon. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the juice and zest from the lemon, the remaining 1 minced garlic clove, 0.5 teaspoon of dried oregano, 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
- 5
Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Push the roasted vegetables to one side of the pan to make space for the salmon. Place the salmon fillets, skin-side down if applicable, onto the open spaces on the sheet pan. Drizzle the lemon-herb mixture generously over each salmon fillet.
- 6
Return the sheet pan to the oven and continue to roast for another 10-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your salmon fillets.

Once cooked, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Garnish generously with fresh chopped parsley and crumbled feta cheese (if using). Serve immediately.
Chef's Tips
- 💡Don't overcrowd the pan: For crispy vegetables and perfectly cooked salmon, ensure there's enough space on the sheet pan. If necessary, use two sheet pans.
- 💡Adjust salmon cooking time: Thinner salmon fillets will cook faster, while thicker ones may need a few extra minutes. Check for doneness by flaking with a fork.
- 💡Vegetable variations: Feel free to swap or add other Mediterranean-friendly vegetables like eggplant, broccoli florets, or even small potatoes (which may need to roast for an additional 10-15 minutes before adding other vegetables).
- 💡Meal prep friendly: This dish makes excellent leftovers! Store individual portions in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
