A healthy and colorful one-pan baked salmon dish with juicy cherry tomatoes and sweet roasted bell peppers. The salmon turns tender and flaky while the vegetables create a light, flavorful sauce, making this meal fresh, satisfying, and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 2 bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange), sliced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano or thyme
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
  • Lemon slices for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Add the sliced bell peppers and cherry tomatoes to the baking dish.
  3. Drizzle the vegetables with 2 tablespoons olive oil and toss with garlic, half of the salt, black pepper, and dried herbs.
  4. Roast the vegetables for about 10 minutes until they begin to soften and release juices.
  5. Remove the baking dish from the oven and place the salmon fillets on top of the vegetables.
  6. Season the salmon with the remaining salt, paprika, and a drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice.
  7. Return the dish to the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and optional lemon slices before serving.

Notes

  • Add zucchini or red onion for extra vegetables and flavor.
  • Sprinkle feta cheese on top after baking for added creaminess.
  • Olives provide a delicious Mediterranean-style variation.
  • Chili flakes can be added for a spicy kick.
  • Dill can replace oregano or thyme for a fresher herb flavor.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently in the oven to keep the salmon moist.
