Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Zest and juice of 1 large lemon

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 zucchini, sliced

1 yellow squash, sliced

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Fresh lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Salmon: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, parsley, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for more flavor).

    Prepare the Veggies: While the salmon marinates, preheat your grill to medium-high. In a separate bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, zucchini, and yellow squash. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, then season with salt and pepper. Toss until the veggies are well-coated.

      Grill the Vegetables: Once the grill is hot, place the prepared vegetables in a grill basket or directly on the grill grates. Grill the veggies for about 8-10 minutes, tossing occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred. Remove from the grill and set aside.

        Grill the Salmon: Reduce the grill heat to medium. Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade and place them skin-side down on the grill. Close the lid and grill for about 6-8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid moving the salmon too much to get nice grill marks.

          Serve: Once the salmon is grilled, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Serve the salmon alongside the grilled veggies and garnish with fresh lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor.

            Enjoy your Zesty Citrus Herb Salmon Delight with a refreshing salad or some fragrant rice for a complete meal!
