Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Cut the tomato and zucchini, zest half the lemon, and then cut the lemon into wedges; pat the salmon dry.
- Toss the tomato, zucchini, and olives on a rimmed sheet pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil, half the garlic, 1/2 teaspoon herbes de Provence, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the black pepper. Arrange in a single layer.
- Roast the vegetables for 10 minutes, until they begin to soften and the tomato releases some juice.
- Mix the remaining olive oil, garlic, herbes de Provence, lemon zest, Dijon, and remaining salt. Brush this mixture over the salmon and nestle the portions among the vegetables.
- Roast for 8–12 minutes more, depending on thickness, until the salmon flakes easily and reaches 145°F in the thickest part. Rest for 3 minutes.
