Baked Salmon with Roasted Zucchini and Sautéed Bok Choy
A nutritious and flavorful dinner featuring tender baked salmon paired with roasted zucchini and sautéed bok choy, rich in omega-3s and fiber.
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Gather all ingredients and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Slice zucchini into 1cm thick rounds. Place them on one half of the baking sheet, drizzle with half the olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. On the other half, place salmon fillets skin-side down, drizzle with remaining olive oil and lemon juice, then season with salt, pepper, and dried dill. Ensure even spacing for consistent cooking.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven at 200°C. Bake for 15-18 minutes, checking at 15 minutes; salmon should flake easily with a fork and reach an internal temperature of 63°C, while zucchini should be tender and lightly golden at the edges.
While the salmon and zucchini bake, halve the bok choy lengthwise and rinse under cold water to remove grit. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place bok choy cut-side down in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown on the cut side. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until leaves are wilted and stems are tender-crisp.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven once salmon and zucchini are done. Let the salmon rest for 2 minutes on the tray to retain juices before serving. Ensure bok choy is ready at the same time by keeping it warm on low heat if needed.
