Ingredients
  

For the Salmon:

4 (6 oz) salmon fillets, skin-on

2 tablespoons olive oil

Zest and juice of 1 large lemon

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 teaspoons fresh dill, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Veggies:

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

1 zucchini, sliced into rounds

1 red onion, cut into wedges

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Salmon: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure each fillet is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

    Prepare the Veggies: While the salmon marinates, toss the sliced bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper. (If using, add balsamic vinegar for extra flavor.) Allow the veggies to sit for about 15-20 minutes until the salmon is ready.

      Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, wait until the coals have turned white before cooking.

        Grill the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Place the fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, depending on the thickness, until they begin to opaque and easily flake with a fork. Carefully flip the salmon and grill for another 3-4 minutes, or until cooked to your liking.

          Grill the Veggies: In the last 5-10 minutes while the salmon is cooking, place the prepared veggies in a grill basket or skewered on soaked wooden skewers. Grill, turning occasionally, until tender and slightly charred, about 7-10 minutes.

            Serve: Once everything is cooked, remove from the grill. Serve the grilled salmon alongside the vibrant veggies. Garnish with extra lemon wedges and fresh herbs, if desired.

              Enjoy: Dig in and savor the freshness of the lemon and herbs combined with the smoky grilled flavors!
