INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Orzo Pasta
1/2 medium Sweet Potato (cubed)
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon (zest & juice)
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Dill)
1 clove Garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Place it on the baking sheet.
Cut the sweet potato into small cubes, toss with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread on a second baking sheet.
Roast the sweet potato cubes in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized.
Place the salmon in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Meanwhile, in a small pan, warm a splash of olive oil over medium heat, add the minced garlic, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the cooked orzo to the pan along with the lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped fresh herbs. Stir to combine and heat through; season with salt and pepper as needed.
Plate the creamy lemon herb orzo, top with the flaky roasted salmon, and serve with a side of roasted sweet potato cubes.
