Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 2 large Sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 sliced Lemon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil on the sweet potatoes and season with 0.5 teaspoon salt, 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, paprika, and ground cumin. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the sweet potatoes in the oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through for even caramelization.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the salmon fillets by patting them dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, honey, minced garlic, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper.
Brush the olive oil and honey mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven after 20 minutes and push the sweet potatoes to one side to make room for the salmon.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the baking sheet and return it to the oven. Roast everything for an additional 10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and garnish the salmon and sweet potatoes with freshly chopped parsley and lemon slices.
Serve warm and enjoy a perfectly balanced meal of flavorful salmon and roasted sweet potatoes.
