Baked Salmon and Peppers

Baked Salmon and Peppers is a vibrant, flavour-packed dish that combines the rich, buttery taste of salmon with the natural sweetness of colorful bell peppers and juicy cherry tomatoes. This meal is as visually appealing as it is nourishing, making it perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions alike. Cooking everything on one tray allows the salmon to stay moist and tender while the vegetables roast to bring out their natural sugars and deepen their flavour, creating a harmonious, wholesome plate with minimal effort. The subtle seasoning of paprika, mustard, and thyme enhances the overall profile without overpowering the freshness of the ingredients.
