Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss 2 medium peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: Roast for 20 minutes until edges are golden and tender when pierced with a fork, stirring halfway through.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp pure maple syrup, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp dijon mustard, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper to make glaze.
  4. Step 4: Pat 2 (6 oz) salmon fillets dry, then brush generously with glaze on both sides.
  5. Step 5: Place salmon on top of roasted sweet potatoes, brush with remaining glaze, and return to oven. Bake for 12-14 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork and internal temperature reaches 145°F.
