Peppered Salmon With Roasted Root Vegetables image

I absolutely love this meal. Simply prepared salmon with a glaze and roasted vegetables. Can you say yum?! I found this recipe in an issue of Better Homes and Gardens. Side note: When I'm eating vegan, this is a great dinner to prepare so my family can enjoy the salmon and veggies, while I just eat the roasted veggies. I love that I don't have to make two separate dinners.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 medium carrots, coarsely chopped
2 small beets, peeled and coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon sea salt or 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
4 skinless salmon fillets, 4-5 oz each
1 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper or 1 teaspoon ground pepper, blend
1/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
2 tablespoons water
chopped green onion (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
  • In a roasting pan, combine carrots, beets, half the oil and half the salt. Roast, uncovered, for about 20 minutes, stirring halfway through. (My veggies weren't done until about 30 minutes because I like them crispier. You choose how crispy you like your veggies!) Transfer to a platter and cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, sprinkle salmon with the remaining salt and all of the pepper. If you like more pepper, feel free to add more! In a 12 inch skillet heat remaining oil over medium-high heat. Add salmon and cook for 3 minutes. Turn and cook for 3 minutes more or until fish flakes easily, which may take a little more time depending on your heat.
  • Transfer the salmon to the platter with your vegetables. Add juice concentrate and 2 Tablespoons water to the skillet you used for the salmon. Simmer, uncovered, about 1 minute or until thickened. Spoon the sauce over salmon. Optional = sprinkle chopped green onions over everything.
  • Enjoy!
