Ingredients

1

120 grams Salmon Fillet

150 grams Sweet Potato

1 tablespoon Olive oil

half teaspoon Sea salt

quarter teaspoon Black pepper

half teaspoon Paprika

1 teaspoon Lemon Juice

half teaspoon Garlic powder

half teaspoon Fresh thyme

Tips

For extra flavor, add herbs like rosemary or dill to the salmon before cooking.

Avoid adding high-calorie toppings like butter or cream to the sweet potatoes. A drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of fresh herbs will add flavor without the extra calories.

For a variation, mash the roasted sweet potatoes and serve them alongside the salmon for a comforting side dish.

Directions

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Wash the sweet potato thoroughly and cut it into wedges or cubes, leaving the skin on for added fiber and nutrients. Toss the sweet potato pieces with 0.5 tbsp olive oil, a pinch of sea salt, black pepper, and paprika. Spread them evenly on a baking tray and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until tender and crispy on the edges.

While the sweet potato is roasting, season the salmon fillet with the remaining olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and lemon juice. Add fresh thyme for extra flavor, if desired.

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place the seasoned salmon in the pan, skin-side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip the fillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork.

Place the cooked salmon on a plate alongside the roasted sweet potatoes. You can drizzle the salmon with a little extra lemon juice if preferred. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Individuals with fish allergies should avoid salmon.

Those on a low-potassium diet due to kidney issues may need to moderate sweet potato consumption.
