Preheat your oven to 400°F for roasting the sweet potato.
Peel (if desired) and cube the sweet potato. Toss the cubes with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them on a baking sheet.
Roast the sweet potato in the oven for about 20-25 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
While the sweet potato roasts, pat the salmon fillet dry and season it with salt, pepper, and chopped fresh herbs.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of olive oil. Once hot, sear the salmon fillet skin-side down for about 3-4 minutes until crispy, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until just cooked through.
In a steamer or a small saucepan with a steamer insert, steam the broccoli for about 5-6 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
In a small pot of simmering water, poach the egg for about 3 minutes for a soft, runny yolk or longer if a firmer yolk is preferred.
Plate the salmon alongside the roasted sweet potato cubes and steamed broccoli. Top with the poached egg and garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, flavorful dinner.
