Easy One Pan Meal

This recipe is so easy, it’s almost not even a recipe. It showcases flaky and richly pink salmon, a low-calorie protein source full of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids and energy-boosting B vitamins.

This non-recipe is versatile! Replace salmon with another flaky fish like tilapia or trout. Swap out the veggies for whatever’s in your fridge or add potatoes for a heartier meal.

Ingredients:

• 1 squash or zucchini, sliced into rounds
• ½ onion, cut into wedges
• 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes
• 1 bell pepper, sliced
• 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning or your favorite fish-seasoning blend
• 2-3 salmon fillets, about 4 ounces each
• 1 lemon, optional

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil (not wax paper). If you don’t have these, you can thoroughly grease the pan with vegetable oil.

In a large bowl, toss all veggies with 2 tablespoons of oil and seasoning, then spread them into a single layer on the baking sheet.

Nestle your salmon fillets, skin side down, between the vegetables. Brush with remaining olive oil, and top with 2 thin lemon slices each.

Roast for 12-15 minutes, until salmon is flaky and mostly opaque.

Add 1 salmon fillet and a heaping serving of roasted veggies to each plate for a healthy and satisfying meal. Enjoy!
