Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and dice 2 medium sweet potatoes into 3/4-inch cubes; toss with 1 tbsp avocado oil, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper on a baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: Roast sweet potatoes for 20 minutes until edges are crispy and tender, stirring once halfway through.
  3. Step 3: Pat 4 salmon fillets dry, then rub with 1 tbsp grated ginger, 1 tsp turmeric powder, and 1/4 tsp sea salt.
  4. Step 4: Heat remaining 1 tbsp avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; add salmon skin-side down and cook for 4 minutes until golden.
  5. Step 5: Flip salmon, reduce heat to medium, and cook for 6 minutes until opaque and flaky. Squeeze juice from 1 lime over salmon, then garnish with 2 tbsp chopped cilantro.
