Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2Cut the zucchini into rounds, slice the pepper into strips, and separate the broccoli into small florets. Leave the cherry tomatoes whole.
- 3In a large bowl, toss the chopped vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
- 4While the vegetables are roasting, pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season them with a little salt and lemon juice.
- 5Remove the baking sheet from the oven and gently push the vegetables aside to make room for the salmon. Place the fillets on the baking sheet and generously spread basil pesto on top of each fillet. Sprinkle with almond flakes, if desired.
- 6Bake everything for another 10–12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon, until the fish is cooked through and the vegetables are golden brown. Serve immediately.
