Pan-Seared Salmon with Pesto Sauce and Roasted Vegetables
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 1/4 cup pesto sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes)
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the mixed vegetables on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- While the vegetables are roasting, season the salmon fillets with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets, skin side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes. Carefully flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.
- To serve, spoon a dollop of pesto sauce over each salmon fillet and serve with the roasted vegetables on the side.
- Enjoy your delicious pan-seared salmon with pesto sauce and roasted vegetables!
