Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 1 (4 ounce) salmon fillet
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil -divided
  • ½ teaspoon salt -divided
  • ¼ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper divided
  • lemon juice
US - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the Toaster Oven: Set it to broil.
  • Prepare the Zucchini: Line the toaster oven tray with aluminum foil. Wash, dry, and trim the zucchini. Cut it in half lengthwise, then slice into ½-inch strips and dice into small pieces for even cooking. Place in a bowl and set aside.
  • Season the Salmon: Pat the salmon dry and place it on the tray. Drizzle with ½ tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with half the salt and pepper. Gently rub the seasonings into the fish.
  • Coat the Other Side: Flip the salmon to lightly coat the bottom with oil.
  • Season the Zucchini: Add the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper to the zucchini. Toss to coat, then spread it on the tray next to the salmon.
  • Broil: Place the tray in the toaster oven and broil for 7-10 minutes. Drizzle fresh lemon juice over the salmon and zucchini before serving.
    Pro Tip: The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork. Use an instant-read thermometer for accuracy:
    FDA recommended: 145°F
    Preferred: 120°F (wild salmon) or 125°F (farmed salmon)
    I cook mine to: 135°F

Notes

  • Read the Recipe First: Review the full recipe, including Ingredient Notes and process photos, to ensure a smooth cooking process.
  • Vegetable Substitutions: Swap zucchini with yellow squash, broccoli, or cauliflower without changing the cooking method.
