Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss 3 peeled and chopped carrots and 3 peeled and chopped parsnips with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme on a baking sheet. Roast for 25 minutes until tender and caramelized.
Step 2: While vegetables roast, whisk together 3 tbsp maple syrup, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 2 minced garlic cloves in a small bowl to make the glaze.
Step 3: Place 4 salmon fillets on a lined baking sheet. Brush each fillet evenly with the maple-Dijon glaze. Drizzle the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil over the salmon and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Step 4: Bake the salmon in the oven alongside the vegetables for 12-15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and glaze is slightly caramelized.
Step 5: Serve salmon with roasted root vegetables and lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
