- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 1/8 tsp grill mates seasoning
- 1/8 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp lemon pepper

- Spicy caramelized veggies:
- 2 cups mixed veggies
- 1 tbsp soy sauce (non-alcoholic alternative, e.g., naturally brewed or tamarind-based)
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions
Prepping the salmon
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the sheet. Brush them with melted butter.
- In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, grill mates seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, and lemon pepper. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the salmon.
Baking and broiling
- Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. The salmon will start to turn opaque and release its natural juices.
- Switch to broil mode for the last 3-4 minutes. This gives the top a beautiful golden crust. Watch closely to prevent overcooking!
Caramelizing the veggies
- While the salmon bakes, toss the mixed veggies in a bowl with soy sauce, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, butter, dried pepper flakes, and brown sugar.
- Spread the veggies onto a separate baking sheet and pop them in the oven. Bake for about 7 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even caramelization.
Notes
Feeding a group? No problem! Simply multiply the ingredients by the number of servings you need. When baking multiple fillets, make sure they’re arranged in a single layer with some space between each one so they cook evenly. You might need to extend the cooking time slightly, but keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
