Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Peel and slice carrots into even sticks to ensure uniform roasting.
  • Toss carrots with olive oil, honey, thyme, salt, and pepper. Spread them on the sheet pan.
  • Roast the carrots for 10 minutes to begin caramelization.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the glaze by combining Dijon, honey, garlic, lemon, olive oil, and seasonings.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and push carrots to one side.
  • Add salmon fillets skin-side down on the empty side of the sheet pan.
  • Brush the honey Dijon mixture generously over the salmon.
  • Return pan to oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, depending on salmon thickness.
  • Remove from the oven once salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.
  • Serve immediately while warm and glazed.
