Ingredients

4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
2 red bell peppers, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 red onion, thinly sliced
3 tbsp olive oil

1 lemon, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp dried oregano
Sea salt and cracked pepper

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
2. Toss the sliced peppers and onions with 2 tablespoons of oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on the pan and roast for 15 minutes.
3. Push the vegetables to the edges to create space. Place the salmon fillets in the center.
4. Drizzle the fish with remaining oil, garlic, and herbs. Top each fillet with lemon slices.
5. Roast for another 12–15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Stewart's Secret

To ensure the salmon stays moist, avoid overcooking. If the fillets are thick, use a digital meat thermometer. Pull them out when the internal temperature hits 135°F; they will continue to carry-over cook to a perfect 145°F while you plate.
