Ingredients

  • 4 medium carrots, coarsely chopped

  • 2 small beets, coarsely chopped

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

  • Four 4- to 5-ounce skinless salmon fillets

  • 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

  • 1/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed

  • Chopped green onions (optional)

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.

  • In a baking pan, combine the carrots, the beets, half of the oil, and half of the salt. Roast, uncovered, for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through. Transfer to a platter; cover to keep warm.

  • Meanwhile, sprinkle the salmon with the remaining salt and the pepper. In a 12-inch skillet, heat the remaining oil over medium-high heat. Add the salmon; cook 3 minutes. Turn; cook 3 minutes more or until the fish flakes easily. Transfer to the platter with vegetables.

  • Add the juice concentrate and 2 tablespoons of water to the skillet. Simmer, uncovered, about 1 minute or until thickened; spoon over the salmon.

  • Sprinkle the green onions on top, if desired.
