Ingredients

For the Beets

4 medium red beets, peeled and wedged
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
Sea salt and cracked black pepper

For the Salmon

4 salmon fillets (6oz each)
1 lemon, sliced thin
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Method

Roast the beets: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss beets with oil, thyme, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 30 minutes until tender.
Prepare the salmon: Place salmon fillets on the sheet alongside the beets. Top each fillet with lemon slices and minced garlic.
Final roast: Return to the oven for 12–15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the beets are caramelized at the edges.
Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of reserved lemon juice.

Stewart's Secret

Add a teaspoon of balsamic glaze to your beets halfway through roasting. The acidity cuts through the sweetness and pairs beautifully with the richness of the salmon.
