Ingredients

4 (6 oz each) salmon fillets
3 tbsp pure maple syrup
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
2 tbsp olive oil
12 oz peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch coins carrots
8 oz peeled and cut into 1/2-inch coins parsnips
1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with 1/4 tsp sea salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place salmon skin-side down and sear undisturbed for 4 minutes until skin is crispy and golden.
Step 3: Flip salmon and add maple syrup, soy sauce, and grated ginger to the skillet. Simmer for 2 minutes until sauce thickens slightly and coats the fish.
Step 4: Toss carrots and parsnips with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp pepper in a separate bowl. Spread evenly in the skillet around the salmon.
Step 5: Scatter fresh thyme over vegetables, cover skillet with a lid, and transfer to a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven. Roast for 15 minutes until vegetables are tender and caramelized at edges.
Step 6: Remove lid, return salmon to oven for 2 minutes to finish cooking through without overcooking.

How do I scale Vintage Martin's Maple Glazed Salmon for a different number of people?
