Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Slice fennel into wedges and place on a baking sheet.

Slice shallots in half and add to the baking sheet with fennel.

Add mixed olives to the baking sheet.

Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Roast the vegetables in the oven for about 25 minutes, tossing halfway through.

In a bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of olive oil, juice of a whole lemon (about 3 tablespoons), lemon zest, minced dill, minced parsley, and minced garlic.

Add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup to the marinade mix.

Spread the marinade over the salmon fillets and let it marinate for about 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, flip the roasted vegetables to ensure even browning.

Add the salmon fillets skin-side down on parchment paper on the baking sheet with the vegetables.

Top the salmon with thin slices of lemon, ensuring no seeds are included.

Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the vegetables are caramelized.
