Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and dice sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes, then toss with 1/2 tbsp avocado oil, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp smoked paprika. Spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: Roast sweet potatoes for 25 minutes until edges are golden and tender when pierced with a fork, flipping halfway through.
  3. Step 3: Pat salmon dry with paper towels. Season both sides with remaining smoked paprika, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and 1 tsp grated ginger. Heat remaining 1/2 tbsp avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Step 4: Sear salmon skin-side down for 4 minutes until crispy, then flip and cook 3 more minutes until opaque at the thickest part. Drizzle with 1 tbsp lemon juice and serve atop roasted sweet potatoes.
