Slow-Baked Citrus Salmon with Carrots

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300°F. Toss carrots with maple syrup, oil, cumin, cinnamon, and cayenne; season with salt and pepper. Arrange in a shallow 2-quart baking dish. Bake 15 minutes.

Step 2

Place salmon on top of carrots, skin-side down. Drizzle lightly with oil; season. Layer orange rounds over salmon and bake until fish is cooked and carrots are crisp-tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs, such as cilantro and parsley, and serve with cooked whole-grain couscous.
