Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 skin-on salmon fillets, about 6 ounces (170 grams) each
  • 8 ounces asparagus spears, trimmed
  • 6 ounces snap peas or snow peas
  • 8 ounces baby carrots or small carrots, peeled
  • 4 ounces radishes, halved if large (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Optional: fresh dill
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt to taste (about 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt)
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste (about ½ teaspoon)
  • Optional extras: red pepper flakes, honey or maple syrup drizzle

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons olive oil, lemon zest and juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme leaves, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
  3. Trim asparagus ends, peel carrots if needed, halve large radishes, and rinse snap peas. Toss vegetables gently in about 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  4. Spread the vegetables evenly on a rimmed sheet pan, leaving space in the center for the salmon.
  5. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place them skin-side down in the center of the pan.
  6. Brush the herb marinade generously over the salmon fillets and a little on the surrounding vegetables.
  7. Roast in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily and vegetables are tender with a slight crisp on edges.
  8. If vegetables need more time, remove salmon after 15 minutes and roast veggies for an additional 3-5 minutes.
  9. Remove from oven and squeeze fresh lemon juice over everything. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Pat salmon dry for crispy skin. Use room temperature salmon for even cooking. Cut vegetables uniformly for even roasting. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Check salmon at 12 minutes to avoid overcooking. You can prep marinade and chop veggies ahead to save time.
