Smoky Salmon & Sweet Potato Bowls with Toasted Sesame Seeds

A vibrant and flavorful bowl packed with smoky salmon, roasted sweet potatoes, crunchy sesame seeds, and a creamy dill sauce. Perfect for a quick and healthy weeknight dinner!

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless salmon fillet, cut into chunks
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
  2. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, season salmon chunks with salt and pepper. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Cook salmon for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and bake alongside the sweet potatoes for the last 5 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, combine dill, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  4. To serve, divide roasted sweet potatoes between bowls. Top with baked salmon and drizzle with creamy dill sauce. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
