Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
– Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Marinate the Salmon:
– Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
– In a small bowl, mix together Oliva di Vita Lavender Dark Balsamic Vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, and honey (or maple syrup).

3. Prepare the Vegetables:
– Cut the mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
– Toss the vegetables with Lemon Infused olive oil, salt, pepper, and dried thyme in a roasting pan.
4. Roast the Vegetables:
– Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and roast the vegetables for about 20-25 minutes or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Stir the vegetables halfway through the cooking time.
5. Bake the Salmon:
– While the vegetables are roasting, place the marinated salmon fillets on a separate baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
– Bake the salmon in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
6. Glaze the Salmon:
– In the last 5 minutes of baking, brush an additional layer of the lavender balsamic mixture over the salmon to create a glossy glaze.
7. Serve:
– Arrange the roasted vegetables on a serving platter and place the glazed salmon fillets on top.
– Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
