Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss 2 medium peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp ground turmeric, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: Roast for 20 minutes until edges are golden and tender, flipping halfway through with a spatula.
  3. Step 3: While potatoes roast, pat 2 (6 oz) salmon fillets dry. Rub with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp lemon zest, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
  4. Step 4: Place salmon skin-side down on a separate baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, checking at 12 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Plate roasted sweet potatoes with salmon, drizzling any pan juices over the top for extra flavor.
