Maple Dijon Glazed Salmon with Roasted Root Vegetables is a sheet-pan dinner featuring tender salmon coated in a sweet-tangy maple mustard glaze, roasted alongside caramelized seasonal vegetables for a wholesome, elegant, and nutritious meal.

Ingredients

  1. 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
  2. 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  3. 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  4. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  5. 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  6. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  7. Salt and black pepper, to taste
  8. 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  9. 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
  10. 2 parsnips, peeled and chopped
  11. 1 medium sweet potato or 2 cups butternut squash, cubed
  12. 1 red onion, cut into wedges (optional)
  13. 2 tablespoons olive oil (for vegetables)
  14. 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

  1. In a bowl, toss carrots, parsnips, sweet potato (or squash), and red onion with olive oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary if using. Spread evenly on the baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make the glaze.
  3. Remove vegetables from the oven. Push them to the sides of the pan and place salmon fillets in the center, skin-side down if applicable. Brush generously with glaze.
  4. Return to the oven and roast 12–15 minutes, until salmon flakes easily and vegetables are tender. Broil for 1–2 minutes at the end for extra caramelization if desired.
  5. Serve hot, garnished with fresh thyme or parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Notes

  • Use pure maple syrup for the richest flavor — avoid artificial syrups.
  • Marinate salmon in the glaze for 15–30 minutes before cooking for deeper flavor.
  • For crispier vegetables, roast them on a separate pan to prevent overcrowding.
  • This dish is naturally gluten-free and dairy-free.
  • Salmon is fully cooked when it reaches 145°F (63°C) internally.
