For the Salmon:

• 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Optional: fresh herbs (like dill or parsley), for garnish

For the Roasted Vegetables:

• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium zucchini, sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
• 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into strips
• 1 red onion, cut into wedges
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Optional: dried herbs like thyme or rosemary

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the Vegetables:

   • In a large bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, zucchini, bell peppers, and red onion.
   • Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and optional dried herbs. Toss to coat evenly.
   • Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer.

3. Roast the Vegetables:

   • Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for about 20–25 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

4. Prepare the Salmon:

   • While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the salmon. In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
   • Place the salmon fillets on a greased baking sheet. Brush each fillet with the olive oil and lemon mixture.

5. Cook the Salmon:

   • Once the vegetables have been roasting for about 15 minutes, place the salmon in the oven.
   • Roast for about 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

6. Serve:

   • Serve the roasted salmon fillets with the roasted vegetables on the side.
   • Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
