Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss 2 medium peeled sweet potatoes (cubed 1-inch) and 2 cups broccoli florets with 2 tbsp avocado oil, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: Roast vegetables for 15 minutes until edges are slightly crispy and tender.
  3. Step 3: While vegetables roast, mix 1 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tsp apple cider vinegar, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a small bowl.
  4. Step 4: Place 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) on the baking sheet over vegetables. Brush with maple glaze, then roast for 12-15 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Step 5: Let rest 3 minutes before serving to allow glaze to set.
