Preheat your oven to 400°F for the asparagus and prepare a small pot of water for the sweet potato.
Season the salmon fillet lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tsp of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the salmon, skin-side down first, for about 3-4 minutes per side until cooked to your desired doneness.
While the salmon cooks, toss the asparagus with the remaining 1 tsp of olive oil, salt, and pepper, then place on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Peel and cube the sweet potato, then boil it in water until very tender, approximately 10-15 minutes.
Drain the sweet potato and mash it until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Plate the seared salmon alongside a serving of sweet potato mash and arrange the roasted asparagus on the side.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, nutrient-packed dinner.
