### Instructions
1. **Preheat Oven & Prep Salmon:** Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over both sides of the salmon fillets.
2. **Prepare Veggies:** On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, arrange the broccoli florets and cherry tomatoes in a single layer.
3. **Bake Together:** Place the seasoned salmon fillets among the vegetables on the baking sheet. If desired, tuck a few lemon slices around the salmon.
4. **Cook:** Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your salmon.
5. **Serve & Garnish:** Carefully transfer the salmon and vegetables to plates. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra lemon slices, if using. Serve immediately and enjoy your deliciously speedy meal!
### Short Tips
* **Don’t Overcook:** Salmon cooks quickly! Keep an eye on it to prevent it from drying out.
* **Vary Your Veggies:** Feel free to swap broccoli and cherry tomatoes for asparagus, green beans, or bell peppers.
* **Add a Sauce:** A drizzle of balsamic glaze, a dollop of pesto, or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice can elevate the flavors even further.
* **Make it a Bowl:** Serve over a bed of quinoa or couscous for a more substantial meal.
* **Meal Prep Friendly:** Cook extra salmon and veggies to enjoy as a healthy lunch later in the week!
