The pairing of citrus with dill is what makes this roasted salmon dish so delicious! What's best is that it roasts in no time at all, making it perfect for a weeknight meal!
Trim the carrots and cut them into thick sticks. Place the carrots in a large baking dish. Add about half of the prepared dill, half of the sliced lemon, and half of the sliced blood orange. Toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, ¾ teaspoon of black pepper, and capers. Roast in the preheated oven until the carrots are just beginning to tenderize, 12-15 minutes.
