Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets (skin-on recommended)
• 2 medium carrots
• 2 medium parsnips
• 4 small red potatoes
• 1 large red onion
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 piece lemon, sliced
• 1 teaspoon honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Wash and peel the carrots and parsnips, then slice them into thin sticks. Quarter the red potatoes and peel and cut the red onion into wedges.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the carrots, parsnips, potatoes, and onions with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly across the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are arranged in a single layer. Roast the vegetables in the oven for 15 minutes.

Step 5

While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the salmon. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and brush them lightly with the remaining olive oil. Season each fillet with a small pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 6

After the vegetables have roasted for 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and clear four small spaces on the sheet for the salmon fillets.

Step 7

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the cleared spaces. Drizzle each fillet with a touch of honey and top with a thin slice of lemon.

Step 8

Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue roasting for another 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the salmon and vegetables rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Plate the salmon with a generous serving of roasted vegetables on the side. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
