Ingredients
  

For the Salmon:

4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

2 lemons (1 for juice, 1 for slices)

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tsp dried dill)

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 tsp dried thyme)

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Veggies:

1 bell pepper (red, yellow, or orange), sliced

1 zucchini, sliced into rounds

1 red onion, sliced into wedges

1 cup cherry tomatoes

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine the juice of 1 lemon, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic, dill, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until well blended.

    Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them. Make sure each fillet is well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

      Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).

        Prepare the Veggies: In a large bowl, combine the sliced bell pepper, zucchini, onion wedges, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until the veggies are evenly coated.

          Grill the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, then carefully flip and grill for another 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and has nice grill marks.

            Grill the Veggies: While the salmon is cooking, place the veggies on a grill pan or directly on the grill. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning once, until they are tender and slightly charred.

              Garnish and Serve: Once the salmon and veggies are grilled, remove them from the heat. Serve the salmon topped with lemon slices and fresh herbs. Enjoy the grilled veggies on the side.
