Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

2 cups baby spinach

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces

1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 lemon (zested and juiced)

4 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare the Veggies: In a large bowl, combine the asparagus, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and baby spinach. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and oregano. Toss until the veggies are well coated.

      Arrange the Ingredients: On a large baking sheet, spread the veggies evenly. Use the center of the baking sheet to create space for the salmon fillets.

        Season the Salmon: In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, paprika, and remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then drizzle half of the lemon garlic mixture over the tops of the salmon fillets.

          Place Salmon on Veggies: Nestle the seasoned salmon fillets amongst the vegetables on the baking sheet.

            Drizzle Remaining Mixture: Drizzle the remaining lemon garlic mixture over the veggies and salmon.

              Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the veggies are tender.

                Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, and serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
