Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, toss 2 medium peeled carrots cut into 1/2-inch chunks, 2 medium peeled parsnips cut into 1/2-inch chunks, and 1 large red onion cut into wedges with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme until evenly coated. Spread vegetables on a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer.
2. Step 2: Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 15 minutes until they start to soften and edges begin to caramelize.
3. Step 3: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp maple syrup and 1 tbsp Dijon mustard for the glaze.
4. Step 4: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and push the vegetables to the sides. Place 4 salmon fillets, skin-side down, in the center of the sheet. Brush each fillet generously with the maple-mustard glaze.
5. Step 5: Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 10-12 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender and golden.
6. Step 6: Serve the salmon atop the roasted root vegetables, spooning any pan juices over the top.
