Ingredients
- 6 oz (170g), skin-on salmon fillet
- 1 medium (about 150g), peeled and cubed 1/2 inch sweet potato
- 1 cup (about 120g), sliced 1/4 inch thick zucchini
- 1 tsp (2g), freshly ground turmeric
- 2 tbsp (30ml) olive oil
- 1/2, thinly sliced lemon
- 1 tbsp (5g), fresh dill
Instructions
- 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.
- Step 2: Roast for 20 minutes until edges are golden and tender, flipping halfway through—veggies should pierce easily with a fork.
- 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.
- 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).
