Instructions

1
Preheat oven and prepare vegetables: Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). On a large baking sheet, toss the carrots, parsnips, and potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer. Roast for 20 minutes.
2
Prepare the maple glaze: While vegetables roast, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, dried thyme, and garlic powder in a small bowl until well combined. Set aside.
3
Add salmon and glaze: After the vegetables have roasted for 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Push the vegetables to one side to make room for the salmon. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the empty side of the baking sheet. Brush the tops of the salmon fillets generously with the maple glaze. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the vegetables if they look dry.
4
Continue roasting: Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue roasting for another 12-18 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized. Cooking time will vary based on the thickness of your salmon fillets.
5
Rest and serve: Once cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving. Divide the salmon and roasted vegetables among plates. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use other types of fish?

Yes, cod or halibut fillets would also work well with this glaze and roasting method. Adjust cooking times as needed for different fish thicknesses.

What if I don't have parsnips?

You can simply use more carrots or potatoes, or substitute with sweet potatoes or Brussels sprouts for a similar roasted vegetable experience.

How do I know when salmon is cooked?

Salmon is cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 63°C (145°F) or when it easily flakes with a fork. Overcooked salmon will be dry, so watch it carefully!
