Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss cubed sweet potatoes with 1/2 tbsp avocado oil, season with a pinch of salt, and spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes until tender and golden at the edges.
- Step 2: Pat salmon dry, rub with remaining avocado oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place on a separate baking sheet and roast for 12-14 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Step 3: Combine roasted sweet potatoes, salmon, pumpkin seeds, lemon juice, and dill in a bowl. Toss gently until the seeds are evenly distributed and the dill is fragrant, noting the vibrant orange color and crisp texture of the sweet potatoes.
