Method
 

Salmon with Roasted Vegetables:
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss the asparagus, cherry tomatoes, and zucchini with olive oil, garlic powder, dill, salt, and pepper.
  3. Arrange the vegetables on one side of the baking sheet and the salmon fillets on the other, topping them with lemon slices.
  4. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  5. Serve immediately while hot.
Grilled Salmon with Mango Salsa:
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
  2. In a bowl, combine diced mango, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and minced jalapeño to create the mango salsa.
  3. Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
  4. Grill salmon for 4-6 minutes per side, or until it easily flakes with a fork.
  5. Serve the grilled salmon topped generously with the fresh mango salsa.
Lemon-Herb Baked Salmon:
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish or foil packet.
  2. Place salmon fillets in the prepared dish or foil.
  3. Top each fillet with lemon slices, chopped parsley, fresh dill, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  4. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flaky.
  5. Serve with your favorite side dishes.

Notes

For crisper roasted vegetables, ensure they are spread in a single layer on the baking sheet to allow for even cooking and browning. If you don't have fresh herbs, dried herbs can be substituted, but use half the amount. For more convenience when grilling, use a fish basket to prevent salmon from sticking to the grates. Always adjust seasoning to your personal preference during cooking.
