Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel and cube the sweet potato. Boil the cubes until they are tender, then drain and mash with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Trim the asparagus ends. Toss the asparagus with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and garlic powder, then spread them out on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
Meanwhile, season the salmon fillet with salt, pepper, and a light dusting of garlic powder.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon fillet skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the salmon reaches your preferred level of doneness.
Plate the seared salmon alongside a generous serving of sweet potato mash and roasted asparagus.
Serve immediately and enjoy the balanced flavors and textures of this wholesome dinner.
