Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Fry the bacon lardons (without any oil) in a frying pan over a medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes until starting to crisp, then transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Add the 30g butter to the same pan over a medium heat. When it has melted, add the carrots, leeks and rosemary, then toss in the butter until well combined. Transfer to a large roasting tin and cook for 25 minutes.
- Top each salmon fillet with a knob or two of butter and lemon slices, then season with salt and pepper. When the vegetables have been in the oven for the required time, add the salmon to the roasting dish. Return to the oven and cook for a further 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the fish is cooked and flakes easily. Serve with crusty bread, if you like.

Just a question re – Baked lemon salmon with buttered carrots and leeks What becomes of the bacon lardons, please?
Thanks for your question. At step 3, when you add the salmon to the partially roasted vegetables, add the lardons too. Happy cooking!
