- 100 g/3.5 oz butter
- A pinch of salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly grated black pepper
- 5 medium-sized carrots peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 kg. /2lb. 4oz. baby potatoes peeled
- 1 tablespoon canola oil to grease the baking dish

- Place the salmon fillet on the baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and dot with butter.
- In a single layer, spread the carrots and potatoes around the salmon.
- Roast the salmon until flaky and opaque in color; with a fork, check the doneness in the thickest part of the fish; carrots and potatoes should be fork tender, it takes about 20 minutes. Broil for 1-2 minutes to to lightly brown the surface of the fish.
