Ingredients
- 2 salmon fillets (wild-caught is best for flavor and nutrition)
- 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
- 2 large carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs (like thyme or rosemary)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes and sliced carrots with olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet.
- Roast the vegetables in the oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Remove the baking sheet and push the vegetables to the sides, making space for the salmon fillets in the center.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the baking sheet. Season them with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of herbs.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
