Instructions

Step 1: Toss 1 medium peeled and diced sweet potato with 1 tsp olive oil, sea salt, and a pinch of black pepper on a baking sheet. Roast at 425°F (220°C) for 20 minutes until tender and golden at the edges.
Step 2: Season 6 oz salmon fillets with 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill, sea salt, and black pepper. Place skin-side down on a preheated skillet over medium heat, cooking 4 minutes until crispy.
Step 3: Flip salmon and cook 3 more minutes until cooked through. Arrange roasted sweet potatoes on plates, top with salmon, and garnish with 1 sliced lemon, ensuring the lemon is placed directly on the salmon for maximum flavor infusion.
