Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the beetroots and carrot, then grate them using a box grater or a food processor. Finely dice the red onion and mince the garlic.
In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the red onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and softened, about 3 minutes.
Add the grated beetroot and carrot to the saucepan. Stir and cook for 5 minutes until slightly softened.
Pour in the vegetable broth, reduce the heat to low, and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the honey, salt, and black pepper. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Brush the fillets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until it flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is baking, transfer the borscht mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree it until smooth. Adjust seasoning if needed.
To serve, spoon the warm borscht puree onto each plate as a base. Place a fillet of roasted salmon on top. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped dill.
Enjoy your 'Beautiful Borscht Salmon'—a delight for the eyes and the palate!
