- 1 tsp garlic powder or 2 minced garlic cloves
- ½ tsp black pepper
- For the Salmon and Veggies:
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin-on or skinless

- 2 cups baby carrots or sliced carrots
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare Maple Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic, and black pepper.
- Prepare Veggies: Toss broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the baking sheet.
- Prepare Salmon: Pat salmon dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. Place salmon fillets on the baking sheet among the vegetables. Brush each fillet generously with maple glaze.
- Roast: Roast in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork and vegetables are tender. Halfway through, brush salmon with extra glaze for a deeper caramelized flavor.
