Spiced Citrus Salmon with Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Toasted Almonds

A vibrant and flavorful dish featuring succulent salmon infused with citrus and warming spices, paired with sweet roasted potatoes and crunchy toasted almonds.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb Salmon fillet, skin on
  • 2 Large Sweet Potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/4 Cup Olive Oil
  • Zest of 1 Orange and 1 Lemon
  • 1 Tablespoon Honey
  • 1 Teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Ginger Powder
  • Salt and Black Pepper to taste
  • 1/4 Cup Almonds, sliced

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, orange zest, lemon zest, honey, smoked paprika, cumin, ginger powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Place the salmon fillet on top of the sweet potatoes. Pour half of the citrus-honey mixture over the salmon, reserving the rest for later.
  5. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the sweet potatoes are tender.
  6. While the salmon and sweet potatoes are roasting, toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned.
  7. Drizzle the remaining citrus-honey mixture over the roasted salmon and serve immediately. Garnish with the toasted almonds.
