Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp ground turmeric, 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper to form a smooth paste.
- Step 2: Place 2 medium peeled and diced sweet potatoes (1/2-inch cubes) and 2 medium peeled and diced carrots (1/2-inch cubes) in a baking dish, drizzle with 1 tbsp of the olive oil mixture, and toss until evenly coated.
- Step 3: Arrange 4 (6 oz) salmon fillets on top of vegetables, then spread the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil mixture over each fillet. Bake for 15-18 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
