The idea for this recipe came to me one night when I was trying to figure out what to make for dinner. I had some salmon fillets in the fridge, and I wanted to roast them with some vegetables. I also had some leftover lemon herb butter from a previous recipe, so I decided to use that to finish the dish. The result was a delicious and flavorful meal that was also easy to make. I've been making this recipe ever since, and it's always a hit with my family and friends.
