Instructions

Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates or prepare a grill basket to prevent sticking.
Prepare Marinade: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.
Marinate Salmon: Brush half of the marinade evenly over each salmon fillet, ensuring they are well coated.
Prepare Vegetables: In a large bowl, toss the zucchini rounds, red bell pepper slices, red onion wedges, and cherry tomatoes with the remaining marinade to evenly coat the vegetables.
Grill Salmon: Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 4–5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Grill Vegetables: Simultaneously, place the marinated vegetables in a grill basket or directly on the grates. Grill for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally until the vegetables are tender and lightly charred.
Serve: Arrange the grilled salmon fillets on plates with the grilled vegetables on the side. Garnish with fresh parsley or lemon wedges if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

You can substitute or add seasonal vegetables like asparagus, eggplant, or mushrooms based on preference or availability.
For enhanced flavor, marinate the salmon and vegetables for 30 minutes before grilling.
Ensure the grill grates or basket are well oiled to prevent sticking and achieve nice grill marks.
Use a meat thermometer to confirm salmon has reached a safe internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
