Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sweet potato and zucchini cubes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp turmeric, and a pinch of salt; 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—veggies should pierce easily with a fork.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, rub salmon with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp turmeric, and salt. Place salmon skin-side down on a separate baking sheet with lemon slices; top with fresh dill.
  4. Step 4: Bake salmon for 12-14 minutes until edges are opaque and flakes easily with a fork—internal temperature should reach 125°F (52°C).
