  8. Brush 1 tbsp avocado oil over the salmon, then drizzle with ½ lemon juice and 1 tsp honey (reserve the remaining 1 tbsp oil for veggies).
  9. Sprinkle ⅔ of the seasoning mix (about 5.5 tsp) evenly over the salmon.
  10. Place the salmon in the center of the baking sheet.
  11. Spread the seasoned veggies around the salmon in a single layer.
