A quick and healthy weeknight dinner featuring salmon fillets and seasonal vegetables roasted on a single sheet pan with lemon, dill, and smoked paprika.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 to 2 pounds salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lemon (half juiced, half sliced)
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 bunch asparagus, woody ends trimmed
  • 1 bell pepper (red or yellow), chopped into large chunks
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and chop vegetables: trim asparagus, chop bell peppers, and slice red onion into wedges.
  3. Place vegetables in a large mixing bowl, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Toss to coat.
  4. Spread seasoned vegetables on one side of a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place skin-side down on the other side of the baking sheet.
  6. Drizzle remaining olive oil over salmon and sprinkle with dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Squeeze half the lemon over the fish.
  7. Scatter cherry tomatoes around the salmon and vegetables.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork and vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
  9. Remove from oven, squeeze remaining lemon juice over everything, and garnish with fresh parsley or dill if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure the oven is fully preheated to 400°F for proper caramelization. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two pans if necessary to allow space between vegetables for roasting rather than steaming. Pat salmon dry before seasoning to ensure a good sear. Thicker fillets may require the full 15 minutes, while thinner ones may be done in 10.
