Maple Glazed Salmon with Roasted Vegetables

Ingredients:

• 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
• 2 cups baby carrots
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 red onion, sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to make the maple glaze.

3. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each fillet generously with the maple glaze, reserving some for later.

4. In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes, baby carrots, sliced bell peppers, and red onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

5. Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer around the salmon fillets on the baking sheet.

6. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender and caramelized around the edges.

7. While the salmon and vegetables are roasting, heat the remaining maple glaze in a small saucepan over medium heat until it thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.

8. Once the salmon and vegetables are done, remove them from the oven. Drizzle the remaining maple glaze over the salmon fillets.

9. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

10. Serve the maple glazed salmon with roasted vegetables hot, alongside a side salad or crusty bread if desired. Enjoy!
