Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

2 lemons (one for juicing, one sliced for grilling)

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped

1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped (or 1/3 teaspoon dried thyme)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 zucchini, sliced into ½-inch rounds

1 bell pepper (any color), sliced into strips

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 red onion, cut into wedges

Optional: additional fresh herbs for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Salmon: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, the juice of one lemon, minced garlic, dill, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful marinade. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag, then pour the marinade over the top. Ensure each fillet is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours—this will enhance the flavor.

    Prepare the Vegetables: While the salmon is marinating, prep your seasonal veggies. In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, bell pepper strips, halved cherry tomatoes, and red onion wedges. Drizzle with a little olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss everything to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated.

      Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If cooking indoors, heat a grilling pan over medium heat.

        Grill the Vegetables: Place the seasoned vegetables in a grilling basket or directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the veggies are tender and have nice grill marks. Once done, remove them from the grill and set aside.

          Grill the Salmon: After the grill reaches the right temperature, lay the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Place a lemon slice on top of each fillet. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, depending on their thickness. The salmon should reach an internal temperature of 145°F and should flake easily with a fork when done.

            Serve: Once everything is grilled to perfection, transfer the salmon and vegetables to a serving platter. If desired, garnish with additional fresh herbs for a pop of color and flavor. Serve with extra lemon wedges on the side for added zest.

              Enjoy: For a complete meal, pair this dish with a side of fluffy quinoa or steamed rice. Savor the zesty, herb-infused flavors of your grilled salmon and veggies!
