Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 8 fresh carrots peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme chopped

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a bowl, toss the sliced carrots with olive oil, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Spread the carrots evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet, nestled among the carrots. Drizzle the fillets with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • To enhance flavor, consider marinating the salmon for 30 minutes before cooking. Use a mix of olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and herbs.
  • Pair the dish with steamed asparagus or a light green salad for a complete meal.
