One Pan Lemon Herb Salmon and Zucchini
Description
One Pan Lemon Herb Salmon and Zucchini features baking zucchini and salmon together on a single sheet. Zucchini is chopped and dressed simply with olive oil, salt, and pepper. The salmon fillets are brushed with a mixture of brown sugar, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, and a blend of dried herbs including dill, oregano, thyme, and rosemary. The sugar and lemon contribute a subtle sweet-tart balance that complements the fish’s natural richness.
Baking at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 16-18 minutes allows the salmon to cook through and flake easily while the zucchini softens and caramelizes slightly. Parsley is sprinkled on top after cooking for freshness and color. This dish is suited for a straightforward yet flavorful dinner that minimizes cleanup by cooking both protein and vegetable together.
Cooking times can vary depending on the thickness of the salmon fillets, so checking for flakiness with a fork helps determine doneness.
