Instructions
- Heat the oven to 425°F and line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment. Fold a second piece of parchment into a shallow 10-inch boat with raised edges and place it at one end of the pan to keep the fish separate from the vegetable juices.
- Cut 12 ounces Fresh Organic Heirloom Tomato into thick wedges and scoop out the loose seeds and watery jelly; slice 8 ounces Zucchini into half-moons, thinly slice 2 ounces Shallots, and mince 1 clove Garlic. Toss everything with 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, spread it outside the parchment boat, and roast for 10 minutes.
- Mix 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon Simple Truth Organic® Thyme leaves, 1 tablespoon softened unsalted butter, and 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest until evenly moistened.
- Pat 12 ounces Wild Caught Sockeye Salmon Fillet dry and season it with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Spread the top with 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, press on all of the prepared crumb mixture, place it inside the parchment boat, and roast with the vegetables for 10–13 minutes.
- While the pan roasts, whisk 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil with 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, then stir in 1/4 cup rinsed and chopped pitted Kalamata olives and 1 tablespoon rinsed and drained capers.
- Remove the pan when the crust is golden and the thickest part of the fillet reaches 125–130°F for medium or 145°F for fully cooked; rest everything for 5 minutes.
- Divide the roasted vegetables and crusted fillet between two warm plates, spoon half of the prepared olive-caper dressing over each serving, and serve immediately.
