Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, toss 3 medium carrots, 2 medium parsnips, and 1 large red onion wedges with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 2 tsp chopped fresh thyme. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes until tender and caramelized.
2. Step 2: Meanwhile, whisk together 3 tbsp pure maple syrup, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp olive oil, and 3 minced garlic cloves in a small bowl to make the glaze.
3. Step 3: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) with the maple glaze on both sides. Grill the salmon for 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through and slightly charred at edges, brushing with remaining glaze halfway through.
4. Step 4: Serve the grilled salmon alongside the roasted root vegetables, spooning any extra glaze over the salmon for added flavor.
