Ingredients:
- 4 (6 oz) salmon fillets, skin-on
- 1 lb asparagus, woody ends trimmed
- 2 medium bell peppers, sliced into strips
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp lemon pepper seasoning
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the trimmed asparagus and sliced bell peppers on the pan. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
- Spread the vegetables to the edges of the pan, leaving four clear spaces in the center for the salmon.
- Roast the vegetables for 8–10 minutes until slightly softened.
- While the vegetables roast, whisk together the melted butter, lemon juice, zest, lemon pepper seasoning, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
- Pat the salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels.
- Place the salmon in the center of the pan and spoon the lemon pepper glaze generously over each fillet, coating the top and sides.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque pink and reaches an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C).
