Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel and cut 2 large sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch thick wedges. Toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper on a sheet pan. Roast for 20-25 minutes until golden and tender, flipping halfway through.
  2. Step 2: Pat 4 salmon fillets dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp dried thyme, and the zest of 1 lemon. Brush half the mixture over salmon fillets.
  3. Step 3: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until crispy and golden. Flip and cook for 3-4 minutes more until opaque and flaky.
  4. Step 4: Brush remaining honey mixture over salmon and cook for 1 minute to glaze. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over salmon and serve immediately with roasted sweet potatoes.
