'BOTW' Peppered Salmon with Roasted Root Veggies

Gardens are over-flowing this time of year.....or at least most are.....mine is not.....I just raid my mother-in-law's and/or visit the farmers market for fresh beets and sweet baby carrots.  When I came across this recipe, I was immediately drawn to it.  Fresh salmon fillets with caramelized sweetness, roasted veggies, healthy and super quick and easy to prepare.

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