Baked Salmon with Roasted Veggies. It’s packed with wholesome ingredients like fresh salmon, colorful veggies, and aromatic herbs.

Before getting into the recipe, let’s talk about the amazing benefits of the main ingredients in this Baked Salmon with Roasted Veggies recipe:

1. Salmon

This fish is a fantastic source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are known for their heart-healthy properties. Omega-3s can help reduce inflammation, improve brain health, and support overall well-being. Salmon is also rich in high-quality protein, essential vitamins, and minerals like vitamin D and selenium.

2. Carrots

These vibrant orange veggies are packed with beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant that gets converted into vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A is essential for maintaining healthy vision, supporting immune function, and promoting skin health.

3. Sweet Potatoes

These root vegetables are a great source of dietary fiber, which aids in digestion and helps regulate blood sugar levels. They also provide an array of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, potassium, and manganese. Plus, their natural sweetness adds a delicious flavor to the dish.

4. Onion

Onions not only add flavor to dishes but also offer health benefits. They contain antioxidants and sulfur compounds that may help reduce inflammation, support heart health, and boost immune function.

5. Bell Pepper

These colorful peppers are rich in vitamin C, which is important for collagen production, a protein that helps maintain healthy skin, bones, and joints. Bell peppers also provide dietary fiber and other essential nutrients.
