Tender salmon, coated with a layer of aromatic herbs and baked in the oven with juicy zucchini, is a wonderful light dish bursting with summer flavors. The fish takes less than 10 minutes to bake, so first, slice the zucchini lengthwise into the oven. Once they're soft, add the cooled salmon fillet to the baking sheet, sprinkled with chopped herbs. Use several herbs for a stunning flavor, such as parsley, tarragon, and dill. Serve the finished dish with a salad of fresh cherry tomatoes in various colors, herbs, and olive oil dressing.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 425°F (220°C). Toss the zucchini with 1 tablespoon of olive oil on a baking sheet; sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a little pepper. Roast in the oven until soft and golden brown around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, season the fish with 0.5 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of fresh herbs. Refrigerate until ready to fry. In a bowl, combine the tomatoes with the green onions, the remaining 2 tablespoons of fresh herbs, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.

Remove the zucchini from the oven and rake it to one side of the baking sheet. Place the fish on the other side, green side up. Return to the oven and bake until the salmon is cooked through and the zucchini is golden brown, about 7 minutes. Serve the salmon and zucchini with a tomato salad.
