Ingredients

1 lb. medium beets, preferably golden, scrubbed and very thinly sliced lengthwise
6 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 lb. skinless salmon fillet, in 1 piece (from wide end)
1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh chives
1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh tarragon
3 Tbsp. finely chopped shallots
1 Tbsp. finely grated lemon peel
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
4 cups mixed baby greens

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
2. Step 2On rimmed baking sheet, toss beets with 1 1/2 tablespoons oil to coat. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Arrange beets in center of sheet, forming a bed large enough to hold salmon. Roast beets about 20 minutes or until crisp-tender.
3. Step 3Place salmon on top of beets. Brush salmon with 1/2 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. In large bowl, mix chives, parsley, and tarragon; sprinkle all but 1 tablespoon of mixed herbs over salmon.
4. Step 4Roast salmon about 15 minutes or until cooked to medium-rare (slightly rosy in center). Remove from oven.
5. Step 5Meanwhile, whisk shallots, lemon peel and juice, and remaining 4 tablespoons oil into remaining mixed herbs. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
6. Step 6Toss greens with 2 tablespoons of dressing. Drizzle remaining dressing over salmon and beets; serve greens alongside.
