Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 8 oz sliced carrots, 6 oz sliced parsnips, and 8 oz cubed potatoes on a baking sheet with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp sea salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder; roast for 25 minutes until golden and tender.
2. Step 2: Whisk 3 tbsp pure maple syrup, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp chopped thyme, and 1/2 tsp sea salt in a small bowl until combined. Pat 2 (6 oz) Alaskan halibut fillets dry with paper towels; rub with 1 tsp olive oil and season with 1/4 tsp black pepper.
3. Step 3: Place halibut fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush generously with maple-honey-thyme glaze, then bake for 12-14 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the glaze is bubbly.
4. Step 4: Drizzle any remaining glaze over the halibut, serve immediately with roasted vegetables, and garnish with extra thyme.
