Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F.
Place the beets in on a rimmed baking sheet large enough to hold them in a single layer.
Sprinkle with the ginger, fine sea salt and 1 tablespoon of the oil and toss to coat.Roast the beets in the middle of the oven, stirring once or twice during cooking, until tender and lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes.Meanwhile, place the black peppercorns in a spice grinder and pulse once or twice until cracked, or place them on a cutting board and crack with a rolling pin.
Add pink peppercorns, coriander seeds, rosemary, and coarse sea salt; continue to pulse or crush until the mixture is very coarsely ground.Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, grease the paper, and place salmon on top; fold the thin tail section under if the fillet is too large for the baking sheet.
Brush the salmon with remaining 2 teaspoons oil and sprinkle with peppercorn mixture.After the beets have roasted for about 15 minutes, place the salmon on the top rack of the oven and roast until just lightly pink in the center, about 15 minutes.Loosen the salmon from the parchment with a spatula, then use 2 large spatulas to transfer it to a platter.Spoon the beets around the salmon and sprinkle them with chives and parsley to serve.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc
Salmon on the menu? Try pairing with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc. To decide on white or red, you should consider your seasoning and sauces. Chardonnay is a great friend to buttery, creamy dishes, while sauvignon blanc can complement herb or citrus-centric dishes. A light-bodied, low-tannin red such as the pinot noir goes great with broiled or grilled salmon. The GEN5 Chardonnay with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 9 dollars per bottle.
