There are several things to love about baked salmon with vegetables. Here are a few reasons why you should give this recipe a try: 

  • This recipe is done in one pan
  • Quick and easy, making it perfect for a weeknight dinner
  • Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids
  • Flavorful and packed with nutrition

Salmon with Vegetable Ingredients  

Salmon Fillet: I used Atlantic salmon fillet and removed the skin. Only remove the skin when you add the salmon to the pan. Removing it hours before baking the salmon will lead to dry salmon. 

Marinade: The marinade will consist of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and some dried herbs. 

Vegetables: The vegetables in this salmon and veggies recipe are onion, green and yellow capsicum, cherry tomatoes (which some consider a fruit), and slices of lemon. You can add more vegetables if you like, such as asparagus and baby corn. 

One Pan Salmon and Veggies

This recipe is easy to make, and all you need to do is the following: 

Preheat the oven to 210°C (410°F)

Olive Oil Marinade: Add and combine the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, dried oregano, and dried basil. Set the olive oil marinade aside. 

Prepare the Pan: Align a sheet pan or casserole with parchment paper. Then, add the salmons and pour half of the marinade mixture on the salmon. Then, flip the salmon and marinate the other side. Make sure that the skin side is the one at the bottom. This helps keep the salmon moist. Now, evenly toss the capsicums, cherry tomatoes, onions, basil, and sliced lemon.

Bake the salmon: Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake the salmon for 20 minutes. Then remove the aluminum foil and bake the salmon with vegetables for another 10 minutes. 

Baked Salmon with Vegetables Leftovers

If there are any salmon and veggies leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Leftover Salmon is best eaten cold, as reheating it can cause it to dry out. It also tastes great when it’s cold. I do not recommend storing the salmon for more than 24 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions about Salmon and Veggies 

What vegetables are good with salmon?

Almost all vegetables taste great with salmon, such as potatoes, corn, and red pepper.

Can you eat leftover salmon cold?

Yes, leftover salmon is best eaten cold. Reheating the salmon can cause it to dry out and might change the texture of the salmon. Cold baked salmon tastes even better than warm salmon.

    Salmon and veggies is my favorite weeknight family dinner! Loved the flavorings in this recipe and the fact that you cranked the oven way up high. This gave nice color to the veggies yet still left them crisp-tender as my family likes it.
