Grilled Salmon with Vegetables

Grilled Salmon with Vegetables is a vibrant and healthy dish that combines the rich flavors of perfectly grilled salmon with a medley of seasonal vegetables. This simple yet satisfying meal is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a weekend gathering.

Ingredients

• Salmon fillets - 2 pieces (150g each)
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Zucchini - 1 medium, sliced
• Bell pepper - 1 medium, sliced
• Cherry tomatoes - 200g, halved
• Red onion - 1 small, sliced
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
3. Brush the salmon fillets with the marinade and let them sit for about 10 minutes.
4. In a large bowl, combine zucchini, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle with remaining marinade and toss to coat.
5. Place the vegetables directly on the grill grates and grill for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until tender.
6. While the vegetables are grilling, place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
7. Remove the grilled salmon and vegetables from the grill, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
