Print Recipe

Pan-Roasted Salmon with Vegetables is a nutritious and flavorful meal featuring crispy-skinned salmon fillets paired with a colorful medley of sautéed vegetables — a perfect quick and healthy dinner option.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each), skin on
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 lemon, sliced (for garnish)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp dried Italian seasoning or thyme
  • Optional: fresh parsley or dill, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat salmon dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon fillets skin-side down and sear for 3–4 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip and cook for 1 additional minute.
  4. Transfer skillet to oven and roast for 5–7 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  6. Add broccoli, zucchini, and red bell pepper. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until just tender.
  7. Add cherry tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Cook another 2–3 minutes until tomatoes soften slightly.
  8. Serve salmon over sautéed vegetables and garnish with lemon slices and herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the pan when searing the salmon to maintain crisp skin.
  • Swap in your favorite seasonal vegetables as desired.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • Great served with rice, couscous, or roasted potatoes for a fuller meal.
