This easy and simple Mediterranean Salmon with vegetables recipe is a one sheet pan wonder. Mediterranean salmon is baked at 425F for around 15 minutes with asparagus, tomatoes, and kalamata olives.

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 lb asparagus, tough stems removed
  • 1 red pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup kalamata olives
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425F.  Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment for easy clean up.
  • Cut up veggies and toss with 2 Tbsp olive oil, 1 Tbsp lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Lay out on baking sheet. Try not to crowd the vegetables too much or they will steam instead of roast.
  • Nestle salmon into an opening in the vegetables on the pan.
  • Lightly drizzle salmon with olive oil and remainder of lemon juice.  Sprinkle a bit of paprika, salt, and pepper on to salmon.
  • Bake ~12-15 minutes or until fish is flaky and veggies are beginning to brown.  
  • Add salt to taste.

Notes

  • Salmon takes less time to cook if it's thin or wild.  Farmed salmon has more fat (and is generally thicker) and can take a longer time to cook in the oven.
  • Salmon cooked but veggies not browning?  The pan is overcrowded.  Remove the salmon after it's done and spread the veggies out.  Continue cooking veggies until browned.
