1Preheat the oven to 190°C and place a rack in the upper third.
2On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss the radishes and potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3Arrange the vegetables in a single layer and roast for 45-55 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender and starting to brown.
4In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, maple syrup, garlic powder, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of pepper.
5Season both sides of the salmon fillet with salt and pepper, then push the vegetables to the sides of the baking sheet and place the salmon in the center.
6Reserve half of the mustard mixture in another bowl and brush the remaining mixture over the salmon.
7Bake for 15-17 minutes, until the salmon is almost cooked through.
8Switch to broil and broil the salmon and vegetables for 3-8 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
9Whisk the lemon juice into the reserved mustard mixture and drizzle it over the salmon and vegetables before serving, garnished with dill and lemon wedges if desired.
