Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Toss the diced beets with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
-
Spread the beets on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
-
Once roasted, allow the beets to cool slightly.
-
Transfer the roasted beets to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, adding a bit of water if needed to reach your desired consistency.

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
-
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the salmon easily flakes with a fork. Cooking time may vary based on the thickness of the fillets.
-
Spoon a generous amount of beet puree onto each plate. Place the flaky oven-baked salmon fillets on top of the beet puree. Garnish with fresh dill and toasted pine nuts if desired.
