Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 small zucchini, trimmed and quartered lengthwise
3/4 red bell pepper, quartered
3/4 green bell pepper, quartered
1/2 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup store-bought Greek vinaigrette
1/2 yellow onion, sliced into thick half-moons
Four 6-ounce skinless salmon fillets
1/2 cup crumbled feta
1/4 cup kalamata olives, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Put the zucchini, bell peppers and asparagus in a large bowl and toss with a scant 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and scant 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette, making sure everything is nice and coated. Transfer the coated veggies to the grill. Add the onions directly to the grill and give them a good brush with the vinaigrette and olive oil mixture. Grill, turning the veggies every 2 minutes, until tender and well-marked, about 8 minutes. Remove to a serving platter.
  • Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette for serving, then brush the salmon on each side with 1/2 tablespoon of the remaining vinaigrette; drizzle on both sides with the remaining olive oil. Grill the salmon for 2 minutes, then rotate 45 degrees and cook for another 2 minutes. After 4 minutes total, flip the salmon and grill on the other side for 2 minutes, then rotate and cook for 2 minutes more. Brush with some of the remaining vinaigrette while cooking if needed.
  • Transfer the salmon to the serving platter with the vegetables. Drizzle everything with the reserved vinaigrette. Sprinkle over the feta, olives, and parsley. Serve immediately.
