INGREDIENTS
9 ounces Salmon Fillet (Fish, salmon, Atlantic, raw)
1 medium Sweet Potato (cooked, baked in skin)
1 cup Asparagus (cooked, boiled)
0.5 tablespoon Olive Oil (extra virgin, for salmon)
0.5 tablespoon Olive Oil (extra virgin, for veggies)
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 pinch Salt
1 pinch Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Peel (if preferred) and cube the sweet potato into uniform pieces and trim asparagus spears, cutting them into bite-sized portions.
Toss the sweet potato cubes and asparagus in 0.5 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet.
Roast the vegetables in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables are roasting, pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 0.5 tablespoon olive oil to the pan.
Sear the salmon fillet skin-side down (if skin-on) for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy, then carefully flip and sear the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the salmon is just opaque in the center.
Remove the salmon from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the roasted sweet potatoes and asparagus. Drizzle additional lemon juice over the top if desired, and serve warm.
