3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. Next add the sliced bell peppers and onions to lined baking sheet. Sprinkle the vegetables with 1 tablespoon fajita seasoning and 1 tablespoon reserved marinade. Toss everything evenly to coat. Then spread the vegetables out on the baking sheet. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
5. Stir the peppers and onions after 10 minutes.  Add the marinated salmon fillets to the pan. Evenly rub the salmon with 2-3 tablespoons fajita seasoning, making sure to fully cover every piece. Bake at 400 degrees F for approximately 15 minutes or until salmon is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
