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

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.
