Seared Salmon with Roasted Sweet Potato and Asparagus
Enjoy a beautifully balanced plate featuring a perfectly seared salmon fillet accented with a hint of lemon and herbs, paired with tender roasted sweet potato cubes and crisp asparagus spears. This dish brings together rich, savory flavors with a light, healthy finish.
INGREDIENTS
6.5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 medium Sweet Potato
Approximately 100g Asparagus (around 5 spears)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Lemon wedge
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and cube the sweet potato into bite-sized pieces. Place them on the baking sheet, drizzle with half of the olive oil, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place them on the baking sheet with the sweet potato. Drizzle with a little olive oil, and season lightly.
Roast the sweet potato and asparagus in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the sweet potato is tender and asparagus is crisp-tender.
While the vegetables roast, pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper. Squeeze a lemon wedge over the fillet and let the flavors meld for a few minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining olive oil. Once shimmering, place the salmon fillet skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes, until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon fillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the roasted sweet potato and asparagus, and finish with an extra squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
