Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs salmon fillets, skin on or off
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Roast the sweet potatoes for 15 minutes.
  4. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the salmon and season with salt and black pepper.
  5. After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Push the sweet potatoes to one side and place the salmon fillets on the other side of the baking sheet. If using, place lemon slices on top of each salmon fillet.
  6. Return the baking sheet to the oven and cook for another 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork and the sweet potatoes are tender and lightly caramelized.
  7. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of your salmon fillets.
  • For extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of dried herbs like thyme or rosemary to the sweet potatoes.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
