Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 2 medium peeled carrots, 2 medium peeled parsnips, and 1 small cut red onion wedges with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden and tender.
Step 2: While vegetables roast, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until edges are crispy.
Step 3: Flip salmon and add 3 tbsp maple syrup to the pan. Tilt pan slightly and spoon the syrup over salmon as it cooks for another 3-4 minutes until glaze thickens and salmon is cooked through.
Step 4: Plate salmon with roasted vegetables and garnish with lemon wedges for squeezing over before serving.
