Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

2 cups asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

3 cloves garlic, minced

Juice of 1 large lemon (about 3 tablespoons)

Zest of 1 large lemon

2 teaspoons dried oregano

2 teaspoons dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Veggies: On a large baking sheet, spread the asparagus, cherry tomatoes, and zucchini. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

      Make the Lemon Butter Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds or until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.

        Arrange the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet surrounded by the veggies. Drizzle half of the lemon butter sauce over the salmon and veggies, reserving the other half.

          Bake: Roast in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the veggies are tender. (Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the salmon fillets.)

            Serve: Remove from the oven and drizzle the remaining lemon butter sauce over everything. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy your zesty, nutritious meal!
