# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly oil it.
02 - In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ⅛ teaspoon black pepper. Spread evenly on the sheet pan and roast for 15 minutes.
03 - Combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, parsley, dill, thyme, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Pat salmon fillets dry and coat thoroughly with the marinade.
04 - After 15 minutes, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Add the red onion, bell pepper, and green beans. Drizzle with remaining olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, then toss gently to combine.
05 - Nestle the marinated salmon fillets among the vegetables on the sheet pan, skin-side down if applicable.
06 - Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until salmon is just cooked through and vegetables are tender.
07 - For a crispier finish, broil for 2 minutes until salmon and potatoes are lightly browned.
08 - Serve immediately with lemon wedges and extra chopped herbs if desired.
