Garlic Herb Salmon and Zucchini
An easy one pan dinner for the oven or your Traeger pellet grill, I can’t wait to share this Garlic Herb Salmon and Zucchini recipe with you!
Summer is the perfect time to make this meal with all the garden-fresh zucchini and herbs.
How to make Garlic Herb Salmon and Zucchini
I have a 2-pound side of salmon that I got from Costco… and it’s gorgeous!
First melt some butter and add in plenty of lemon juice and fresh minced garlic.
Then chop about 1/2 cup of fresh herbs.
I had basil, parsley, and thyme… but rosemary or chives would be great additions.
Season the butter with kosher salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning blend.
Spoon some of the butter right on the salmon.
And toss the rest with 2 medium size zucchini that have been sliced, about 1/4 inch thick.
Place the seasoned zucchini around the salmon on the baking sheet.
Sprinkle a little more kosher salt and pepper over top and this is ready for either the oven or your Trager pellet grill.
Either cooking method you’ll set it to 375 degrees and cook for 20 to 25 minutes.
Garlic Herb Salmon and Zucchini is almost too pretty to eat 🙂
