Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Peel and cube the sweet potato into 1-inch pieces. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread on a baking sheet.
Roast the sweet potato in the oven for about 25 minutes, stirring halfway through until tender and lightly caramelized.
While the sweet potato roasts, prepare the asparagus by trimming the woody ends. Optionally, season lightly with salt and pepper.
Season the salmon fillet on both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon skin side down (if applicable) or presentation side, and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side until nicely browned and just cooked through.
Plate the seared salmon with a serving of roasted sweet potato and arrange the asparagus on the side.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, flavorful dinner.
