Ingredients
 

Salmon and Vegetables

  • 1.5 lb salmon fillets, skin-on cut into 4 portions
  • 2 cup cherry tomatoes left whole
  • 1 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 0.5 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
  • 1 cup marinated artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
  • 1 tbsp capers, drained
  • 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Lemon-Herb Marinade

  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 clove garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1.5 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp sea salt divide for veggies and salmon
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper divide for veggies and salmon
  • 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes optional heat

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment.
  • Whisk olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, zest, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  • Toss tomatoes, red onion, artichokes, olives, and capers with half the marinade on the pan. Spread in an even layer.
  • Pat salmon dry. Nestle pieces skin-side down on the vegetables. Spoon remaining marinade over the salmon.
  • Bake 12–15 minutes, until salmon flakes easily and reaches 125–130°F in the thickest part.
  • Broil 1–2 minutes for light browning, if desired. Remove and rest 3 minutes.
  • Scatter feta and parsley over the pan. Serve warm with pan juices.

Notes

Try swapping feta for crumbled goat cheese, or add sliced zucchini with the tomatoes. Leftovers keep 2 days in the fridge; flake the salmon over couscous or salad and spoon on the roasted veggies.
