4 salmon fillets (about 150 g / 5 oz each)
1 large zucchini, thinly sliced
250 g (9 oz) cherry tomatoes, halved
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Honey Mustard Dressing:
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1–2 tsp honey
1–2 tsp Dijon or mild mustard
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Optional: red pepper flakes
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), or 350°F (180°C) fan-forced. Line a baking sheet or large baking dish with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Prepare the Vegetables
Slice the zucchini into thin rounds and halve the cherry tomatoes. Place them in the baking dish with the minced garlic. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
3️⃣ Make the Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, mustard, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add red pepper flakes if desired.
4️⃣ Marinate the Vegetables
Pour half of the dressing over the vegetables and toss well to coat.
5️⃣ Add the Salmon
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper. Place them on top of the vegetables and brush with the remaining dressing.
6️⃣ Bake
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through yet still moist and tender. The vegetables should be soft but not overcooked.
