Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
   Set the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking tray with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Vegetables:
   • Place the cubed sweet potatoes, zucchini, broccoli, bell pepper, and onion on the tray.
   • Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Spread in a single layer, leaving space for the salmon.
3. Marinate the Salmon:
   • In a small bowl, whisk olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
   • Rub the marinade over the salmon fillets.
4. Add Salmon to the Tray:
   • Push the vegetables to the sides of the tray, creating space in the middle for the salmon.
   • Place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable).
5. Bake:
   • Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon. The salmon should flake easily with a fork, and the vegetables should be tender and slightly caramelized.
6. Serve:
   • Serve with your favorte sourdough, or bread of choice!
   • Plate the salmon and vegetables directly from the tray for a no-dish dinner.
