Salmon with Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Pomegranate Glaze

A vibrant and flavorful dish featuring perfectly roasted salmon topped with a tangy pomegranate glaze, accompanied by sweet and earthy roasted sweet potatoes.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb salmon fillet, skin on
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender.
  2. While sweet potatoes roast, combine pomegranate seeds, orange juice, honey, and lemon zest in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened (about 5 minutes). Set aside.
  3. Place salmon fillet on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through.
  4. Serve roasted sweet potatoes topped with the pomegranate glaze and alongside the cooked salmon fillet.
