Ingredients

2 (6 oz each), skin-on salmon fillets
2 medium, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes sweet potatoes
2 tbsp avocado oil
1, zested and juiced lemon
1 tsp fresh, chopped dill
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sweet potato cubes with 1 tbsp avocado oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 2: Roast for 25 minutes until potatoes are golden and tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 3: While potatoes roast, pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with garlic powder, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Step 4: Heat remaining 1 tbsp avocado oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 4 minutes until skin is crisp.
Step 5: Flip salmon and cook for 3-4 minutes more until fish is opaque and flakes easily.
Step 6: Transfer salmon to a plate, top with lemon zest, chopped dill, and 1 tsp lemon juice. Serve immediately with roasted sweet potatoes.
