Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp rosemary; spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes until golden and tender.
Step 2: Whisk together maple syrup, bourbon, soy sauce, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Brush half the mixture over salmon fillets.
Step 3: Heat remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon skin-side down and sear for 3-4 minutes until crispy, then flip and cook for 2 more minutes.
Step 4: Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until salmon is cooked through. Brush with remaining glaze during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
Step 5: Toss green beans with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp rosemary; roast on the same baking sheet as sweet potatoes for 10 minutes until crisp-tender. Serve salmon over sweet potatoes with green beans and fresh dill.
