Savor a simple yet elegant dinner featuring a perfectly seared salmon fillet paired with tender roasted sweet potatoes and crisp asparagus. The natural flavors shine through with a hint of citrus and garlic, making this dish both satisfying and nutritious.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1 medium Sweet Potato
Approx. 7 Asparagus Spears (1 bunch)
1/2 medium Lemon
1 Garlic Clove
Olive Oil Cooking Spray
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Wash the sweet potato and asparagus. Dice the sweet potato into 1/2-inch cubes and trim the woody ends off the asparagus.
Place the sweet potato cubes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly coat with olive oil cooking spray and season with salt and pepper.
Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized.
Meanwhile, season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Mince the garlic and zest half a lemon over the salmon, then squeeze a bit of lemon juice on top.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon fillet skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms. Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the interior reaches your preferred doneness.
While the salmon sears, add the asparagus to the baking sheet during the last 10 minutes of the sweet potato roasting. Drizzle a minimal amount of cooking spray and season lightly.
Once everything is cooked, plate the seared salmon alongside a serving of roasted sweet potatoes and asparagus. Garnish with a final squeeze of lemon juice if desired and serve immediately.
