  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black cracked pepper
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 2 lemons from zesting sliced into thin slices

  • ⅓ cup feta crumbled (optional)

  • Add the potatoes, zucchini, brussels sprouts, and cauliflower to the sheet pan. Add oil, seasoning, and zest. mix well. Bake for 20 minutes.
  • While veggies cook, seasoning the salmon on both sides. Set aside.
  • Pull the veggies out, add the tomatoes, place the lemon slices over the veggies in the center of the baking sheet (this prevents the veggies from tasting like salmon). Add the salmon filet or filets over the lemon slices.
  • Place veggies and salmon back in the oven and bake for another 15-18 minutes or until the salmon is cooked to desired doneness.
  • Add crumbled feta and any other desired toppings and serve!

Notes

    • Pat the salmon dry with paper towels before seasoning. This helps the seasoning stick better and promotes a nicer sear.
    • Lightly oil the salmon before seasoning to help it crisp up in the oven.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
