Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to create the lemon glaze.

3. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush them generously with the lemon glaze, reserving some for later.

4. In a separate bowl, toss the sliced bell peppers with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper.

5. Arrange the bell peppers around the salmon on the baking sheet.

6. Roast in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

7. While the salmon is cooking, you can brush it with more lemon glaze halfway through the cooking time for extra flavor.

8. Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.

9. Serve the lemon-glazed salmon with the roasted bell peppers on the side, drizzle with any remaining lemon glaze, and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Special Tips or Variations:

- For added freshness, you can sprinkle some chopped parsley or dill over the dish before serving.
