Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, toss 2 cups chopped carrots, 2 cups chopped parsnips, and 2 cups cubed sweet potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves until evenly coated. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer.
2. Step 2: Roast the vegetables for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning.
3. Step 3: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp pure maple syrup, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder to make the glaze.
4. Step 4: Place 4 salmon fillets on a separate lined baking sheet. Brush each fillet generously with the maple glaze.
5. Step 5: After the vegetables have roasted for 25 minutes, place the salmon fillets in the oven alongside them, roasting for 12-15 minutes more, or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
6. Step 6: Remove both salmon and vegetables from the oven. Serve the salmon fillets with a squeeze of fresh lemon from 4 wedges and a generous helping of roasted root vegetables.
