Directions

First, cook salmon according to directions on packaging and set aside. Preheat your oven or pan with oil or olive oil spray over medium heat. Slice eggplant and zucchini into ½ inch pieces, brush with olive oil or cooking spray and season lightly with salt, pepper, thyme sprigs (if using). Add the peppers to a foil-lined baking sheet in single layer as well as onion slices. Roast vegetables for about 20 minutes until soft but not browned. Add minced garlic and balsamic vinegar to vegetables for the last five minutes of roasting.
