- 1 zucchini, sliced

Instructions
-
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil. -
Prepare the Veggies
Toss broccoli, bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the sheet pan. -
Marinate the Salmon
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Brush over the salmon fillets. -
Assemble the Sheet Pan
Push the veggies to the edges and place salmon fillets in the center of the pan, skin side down. -
Bake
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Broil the last 2 minutes for extra crispness (optional). -
Serve
Serve hot with lemon wedges or over quinoa or rice for a complete meal.
Pro Tips
- For crispier veggies, roast them for 5–7 minutes before adding salmon.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade for a little kick.
- Line the pan with foil for easier cleanup.

Storage & Reheating
