Ingredients

• 4 pieces Salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Yellow bell pepper
• 1 medium Orange bell pepper
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 large Carrot
• 1 small Red onion
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Finely dice the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, orange bell pepper, zucchini, carrot, and red onion to create a colorful vegetable confetti mixture. Set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 4

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush each fillet generously with the marinade.

Step 5

Sprinkle the vegetable mixture evenly over the salmon fillets, pressing it down lightly so it adheres to the surface of the fish.

Step 6

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.

Step 7

Remove the salmon from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Step 8

Serve the Salmon Confetti warm with your choice of side dishes, such as rice, quinoa, or a fresh green salad.
