Ingredients:

• 4 salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon coriander
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Vegetables:

• 2 bell peppers (red, yellow, or a mix), sliced
• 1 zucchini, sliced
• 1 red onion, sliced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:
   • In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
2. Marinate the Salmon:
   • Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
   • Coat the salmon with the prepared marinade, ensuring each fillet is well-covered.
   • Allow the salmon to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. The longer, the better for flavor absorption.

   • Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables and season with salt and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
4. Preheat the Grill:
   • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
5. Grill the Salmon:
   • Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it on the preheated grill.
   • Grill each side for about 4-5 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and has a nice grill mark. Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of your fillets.
6. Grill the Vegetables:
   • Place the marinated vegetables in a grill basket or on a grill-safe tray.
   • Grill the vegetables for 10-15 minutes, tossing occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred.
7. Serve:
   • Arrange the grilled salmon fillets on a platter and surround them with the grilled vegetables.
8. Garnish and Enjoy:
   • Garnish the dish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro.
   • Serve the Smoky Paprika Grilled Salmon with a side of rice or your favorite grains.
