Instructions

- Heat the oven to 400 degrees F and prepare a baking sheet with foil and cooking spray.
- Place onions and peppers on the sheet; sprinkle with fajita seasoning, salt, drizzle with olive oil and reserved marinade, toss to coat, and spread evenly. Roast for 5 to 10 minutes depending on salmon thickness and desired vegetable doneness.
- Stir the veggies and push to one side of the pan; place salmon on the other side, rubbing remaining fajita seasoning on it.
