The combination of hearty potatoes, sweet peppers, juicy cherry tomatoes, and fresh herbs gives this dish a balance of flavors, while the salmon provides a good source of lean protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Plus, everything is roasted on one sheet pan, making it convenient and easy to clean up.

Why Salmon with Roasted Vegetables Is a Great Choice

This meal is not only satisfying but also packed with nutrients that support a healthy lifestyle:

  • Salmon: A fantastic source of omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health, reduce inflammation, and improve brain function. Salmon is also rich in protein, vitamin B12, and selenium, which help maintain muscle mass, support metabolism, and fight oxidative stress.
  • Fingerling Potatoes: Potatoes are a good source of fiber, potassium, and vitamin C, all of which are essential for digestion, heart health, and immune function. Roasting them with garlic brings out their natural sweetness and adds a savory kick.
  • Sweet Peppers: Packed with vitamin C, sweet peppers support your immune system, promote healthy skin, and provide a burst of antioxidants to combat free radicals.
  • Cherry Tomatoes: Rich in lycopene, an antioxidant that supports heart health, cherry tomatoes add a juicy, sweet flavor to the dish, enhancing both taste and nutrition.
  • Olives & Oregano: Kalamata olives provide healthy monounsaturated fats, which help reduce bad cholesterol levels, while oregano adds a burst of fresh, earthy flavor and provides anti-inflammatory benefits.

This meal provides a well-rounded combination of healthy fats, fiber, lean protein, and antioxidants, making it a nutritious and delicious option for any meal.

How to Make Salmon with Roasted Vegetables: Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes
    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the fingerling potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with garlic, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Toss to coat evenly, then transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet and cover with foil. Roast for 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Vegetables and Salmon
    While the potatoes are roasting, thaw the salmon fillets if using frozen. In the same bowl, combine the sweet peppers, cherry tomatoes, parsley, olives, and oregano. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and toss to coat evenly. Rinse the salmon fillets and pat dry. Season with the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
  3. Assemble the Dish
    After 30 minutes, remove the foil from the potatoes. Spoon the vegetable mixture over the roasted potatoes, then place the salmon fillets on top of the vegetables.
  4. Roast the Salmon
    Roast the dish, uncovered, for another 10 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Finish and Serve
