Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170 g each), skin-on or skinless depending on preference
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon garlic-infused olive oil (low FODMAP friendly)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 1 lb (450 g) baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the carrot sticks and halved baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil, dried thyme (if using), salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for about 20 minutes.
  3. While the veggies start roasting, whisk together 3 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 tablespoon garlic-infused olive oil, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl.
  4. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and lightly season with salt and pepper. After the veggies have roasted for 20 minutes, pull the baking sheet out of the oven and create space for the salmon fillets. Place the salmon skin-side down (if skin-on) on the tray.
  5. Generously brush the maple glaze over the salmon fillets.
  6. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for another 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
  7. Check that the salmon has reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). If veggies need more time, remove salmon and continue roasting veggies separately for a few more minutes.
  8. Serve immediately, plating the salmon with the roasted carrots and potatoes. Spoon any extra glaze from the pan over the top.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure proper caramelization. Use skin-on salmon for moistness and crisp skin. Pat salmon dry before seasoning to help glaze stick. Pre-roast veggies before adding salmon to ensure even cooking. Garlic-infused olive oil provides garlic flavor without FODMAPs. You can brush a second coat of glaze halfway through cooking for more flavor. Leftovers keep well for up to 2 days; reheat gently in the oven.
