Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Toss the asparagus lightly with olive oil, salt, and black pepper, then spread on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender but still crisp.
While the asparagus roasts, peel and cut the sweet potato into chunks. Boil in lightly salted water until tender, about 10-12 minutes.
Drain the sweet potato and mash it until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt and garlic powder.
Season the salmon fillet with salt, pepper, and a light dusting of garlic powder.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon skin-side down for about 4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through.
Plate the seared salmon alongside a serving of roasted asparagus and a scoop of sweet potato mash. Enjoy your nutritious and flavorful dinner!
