Salmon with Roasted Sweet Potato & Pistachio Salsa

A vibrant and flavorful dish featuring succulent salmon fillets alongside a sweet and savory salsa with roasted sweet potatoes, crunchy pistachios, and fresh herbs.

Ingredients:

  • 2 Salmon filets (6-8 oz each)
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the diced sweet potato with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
  2. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the pistachio salsa: Combine the roasted sweet potatoes, pistachios, cilantro, mint, lemon zest, garlic, and a drizzle of olive oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Place the salmon filets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Serve the baked salmon topped with the vibrant pistachio salsa and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
