Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 medium zucchini
• 2 medium bell peppers
• 1 large red onion
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (350-400°F). If using an oven, preheat to 400°F and prepare a grill pan or baking sheet.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Brush 1 tablespoon of the olive oil mixture over both sides of the salmon fillets. Set aside the remaining mixture for the vegetables.

Step 4

Cut the zucchini and bell peppers into thin slices. Slice the red onion into wedges. Keep the cherry tomatoes whole.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, toss the zucchini, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes with the remaining olive oil mixture until evenly coated.

Step 6

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill or grill pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. If using the oven, bake for 12-15 minutes.

Step 7

While the salmon cooks, place the vegetables on the grill (using a grill basket if necessary) and grill for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, or until charred and tender. If using an oven, spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes.

Step 8

Once everything is fully cooked, remove from the grill or oven and serve the salmon alongside the grilled vegetables.

Step 9

Garnish with extra fresh thyme or a lemon wedge, if desired, and serve immediately.
