Quick Summary

A balanced, heart-healthy dinner that pairs omega-3 rich salmon with roasted summer squash. Ready in 35 minutes with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

4 salmon fillets (6oz each)
3 medium zucchini, sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 tsp dried oregano
2 cloves garlic, minced
Sea salt to taste
Fresh cracked black pepper

Method

01. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
02. Toss sliced zucchini with half the olive oil, garlic, and seasoning. Spread on the pan.
03. Place salmon fillets in the center. Drizzle with remaining oil, lemon juice, and herbs.
04. Roast for 12–15 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork and zucchini is tender.

Stewart’s Secret: To achieve a slightly charred edge on the zucchini without overcooking the fish, place the zucchini on the outer edges of the pan where heat circulates most intensely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute frozen salmon?

Yes. Thaw it completely in the refrigerator overnight and pat dry before roasting.

What other vegetables work here?

Asparagus or bell peppers roast beautifully alongside the zucchini.

How do I know the fish is done?

The internal temperature should reach 145°F, and the flesh should turn opaque and flake easily.
