Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, toss 3 medium carrots, 2 medium parsnips, and 10 oz quartered red potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp dried thyme until evenly coated. Spread vegetables on a rimmed sheet pan in a single layer.
2. Step 2: Roast vegetables in the oven for 20 minutes until they start to soften and brown at the edges.
3. Step 3: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp olive oil until combined.
4. Step 4: Remove sheet pan from oven and nestle 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) skin-side down among the vegetables. Brush each fillet generously with the citrus glaze.
5. Step 5: Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork and vegetables are tender.
6. Step 6: Serve salmon and roasted vegetables warm, spooning any remaining glaze from the pan over the top.
