3 cloves garlic, minced Adjust to taste.
1 teaspoon salt Adjust according to preference.
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika For added color and flavor.
1 piece lemon, sliced
2 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., asparagus, bell peppers, or broccoli) Feel free to substitute with your favorite vegetables.
to taste Fresh parsley for garnish

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, melted butter, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika.
On a large sheet pan, arrange the salmon fillets and mixed vegetables.
Drizzle the lemon garlic butter mixture over the salmon and veggies, then place lemon slices on top of the fish.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving and enjoy directly from the sheet pan for a rustic feel.
