Ingredients

1 1/2 cups loosely packed fresh rosemary leaves
4 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 pound red-skinned or white-skinned potatoes, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 pound parsnips, peeled, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 3 1/2-to 3 3/4-pound whole side of salmon with skin
1 pound crimini (baby bella) mushrooms, quartered if large, halved if small assorted salad greens
1/3 cup Pinot Noir or other dry red wine

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Blend rosemary, salt, and pepper in processor until finely chopped. With machine running, gradually add 4 tablespoons oil; process to coarse paste.

    Step 2

    Position 1 rack in top third and 1 rack in bottom third of oven; preheat to 450°F. Toss potatoes, parsnips, 2 tablespoons oil, and 3 tablespoons rosemary mixture in large bowl. Transfer vegetable mixture to rimmed baking sheet, arranging in even layer. Roast vegetables on lower rack 20 minutes.

Return vegetable mixture to lower rack; place salmon on upper rack. Roast salmon until just opaque in center and vegetables until tender, about 20 minutes.

    Step 4

    Line platter with salad greens; place salmon on top of greens. Transfer vegetables to serving bowl. Place vegetable baking sheet over 2 burners on high heat. Add wine and bring to boil, scraping up browned bits. Drizzle juices over salmon.
