Roasted Salmon with Cilantro-Lime Salsa and Sweet Potato Rounds

A vibrant and healthy meal featuring roasted salmon drizzled with a zesty cilantro-lime salsa and accompanied by sweet potato rounds.

Ingredients:

  • 2 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • For the Cilantro-Lime Salsa:
    • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
    • 1/4 cup lime juice
    • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
    • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (optional)
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss the sweet potato rounds with 1 tablespoon olive oil, cumin powder, paprika, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned.
  3. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the cilantro-lime salsa. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Set aside.
  4. Place the salmon fillets on a separate baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Roast the salmon alongside the sweet potatoes for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through and flaky.
  6. To serve, arrange the roasted sweet potato rounds on plates and top with a generous dollop of cilantro-lime salsa and a salmon fillet.
