Let’s Make It Together

Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures even cooking for those lovely roasted veggies.

Marinate the Salmon: Place your salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over them. Let them soak up that goodness for about 15 minutes while you prep veggies.

Toss the Vegetables: Chop your chosen vegetables into bite-sized pieces and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over them and sprinkle with salt and pepper before tossing well.

Roast Everything Together: Add the marinated salmon on top of the veggies on the baking sheet. Bake everything in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Add Final Touches: Drizzle remaining marinade over salmon during the last 5 minutes of baking for an extra glaze. Keep an eye on it as that caramelization happens—yum
