(Serves 4)
4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
2 cups Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
3 large carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lemon (½ sliced, ½ juiced)
1 tsp dried thyme (or 1 tbsp fresh)
1 tsp dried rosemary (or 1 tbsp fresh)
Salt & pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prep veggies: Toss Brussels sprouts and carrots with 1 tbsp olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread on the sheet pan. Roast for 15 minutes.
Prep salmon: Pat fillets dry, drizzle with remaining olive oil, lemon juice, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Lay lemon slices on top.
Bake together: Push veggies to the side of the pan, add salmon fillets, and roast for another 12–15 minutes, until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Serve hot with an extra squeeze of lemon.
