• 1 teaspoon dried oregano or thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

2. Season the salmon:

   • In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, honey, oregano, salt, and pepper.
   • Place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet, and spoon the mixture over them, ensuring even coverage.

3. Toss the veggies:

   • On the same baking sheet (or a separate one if needed), arrange the cherry tomatoes, zucchini, and broccoli.
   • Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Toss to coat.

4. Bake:

   • Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the veggies are tender.

5. Serve:

• Plate the salmon alongside the roasted veggies. You can garnish with extra lemon wedges or fresh herbs like parsley or dill.
