Baked Salmon with Carrots and Parsnips

Homemade Cheesy Garlic Biscuits

Ingredients:

2 lb of wild caught salmon
1 lemon
½ tsp sea salt
1 tsp dill weed
4 carrots, peeled and sliced
2 parsnips, peeled and sliced
2 russet potatoes, peeled and sliced
½ cup of chopped parsley
2 Tbsp real butter, melted
Baking mix
Milk
Egg
¼ cup of grated cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
2 Tbsp real butter, melted

Preparation:

Place the prepared vegetables in a covered baking dish.
Melt 2 Tbsp of the butter and add the parsley to it.
Pour the melted butter and parsley over the vegetables. Toss to coat.
Cover with foil.
Place in the oven and bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes.

Wash and dry the salmon and place in a foil lined baking dish.
Cut the lemon and sprinkle the juice over the salmon flesh.
Sprinkle with sea salt and dill weed.
Prepare the biscuits according to the package directions, adding the ¼ cup of cheese.
Drop by spoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet.
Melt 2 Tbsp butter and stir in the garlic powder.
Brush the melted garlic butter over the biscuits.
After 45 minutes, turn the oven up to 425 degrees.
Test the vegetables to see if they are done. If they are tender, remove them and keep them warm. If not, continue to bake them with the salmon and biscuits.
Place the salmon and the biscuits in the oven.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown and firm, and the fish flakes with a fork.

Using baking dishes that go from oven to table makes cooking and cleaning much easier. This baking dish works perfectly for the vegetables, as well as for Chicken Parmigiana and other baked recipes.
