Recipe Benefits
I wanted to share a dish that tastes great and offers excellent health benefits. It includes salmon, packed with omega-3 fatty acids known to improve heart and brain health. It also has antioxidant-rich veggies like bell peppers, zucchini, and onions that help fight harmful free radicals and promote overall well-being. And the best part? It’s relatively low in calories, so that you can enjoy it guilt-free. Plus, the combo of salmon and veggies gives you essential vitamins and minerals, like vitamins C and A and potassium. Grilling everything together brings out unique flavors and gives the dish a delicious, smoky taste.
Ingredients
- 1 medium zucchini, cut in half lengthwise
- 3 bell peppers (1 red, 1 orange, 1 yellow), trimmed, halved, and seeded
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper
- 1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch wedges
- 1 1/4 pounds of salmon fillet, cut into 4 portions
- 1/4 cup of thinly sliced fresh basil
- 1 lemon, cut into 4 wedges
Directions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- To prepare the zucchini, peppers, and onion, it is recommended to coat them with oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Then, season the salmon with pepper and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- Grill the vegetables and salmon with the skin side down. Flip the vegetables once or twice and cook until grill marks appear and they become tender, which should take around 4 to 6 minutes per side. To cook the salmon, wait until it flakes easily with a fork before flipping it. It should take approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
- After letting the vegetables cool down, chop them and mix them in a big bowl. If you want, take the skin off the salmon fillets and serve them with the vegetables. For each serving, add a tablespoon of basil and a lemon wedge as decoration.
