INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper, chopped
1/2 cup Zucchini, sliced
1/4 cup Red Onion, sliced
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 sprigs Fresh Thyme
1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Prepare the vegetables by chopping the red bell pepper, slicing the zucchini, and red onion into even pieces. Toss them in a bowl with the olive oil, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground pepper.
Spread the vegetables evenly on a baking sheet and roast for about 15-20 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables roast, pat the salmon fillet dry. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and finely chopped fresh thyme. Gently press a small amount of lemon zest onto the fish to create a bright, herbaceous crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillet, skin-side down if applicable, and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes per side, or until a golden crust forms and the fish is cooked through.
Plate the pan seared salmon alongside the roasted rainbow vegetables. Garnish with an extra sprinkle of fresh thyme or an additional touch of lemon zest if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the combination of fresh, vibrant flavors.
