In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Brush or rub this mixture over the salmon.
Set aside.

Push potatoes to one side and add your veggies to the pan.
Drizzle veggies with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
4 — Add the salmon
Place salmon fillets on the pan between the veggies and potatoes.
Add lemon slices on top if desired.
