Spiced Salmon Bowls with Roasted Sweet Potato and Creamy Avocado Dressing

A vibrant and healthy meal packed with flavor! This recipe features juicy salmon seasoned with warming spices, roasted sweet potatoes for sweetness, and a creamy avocado dressing that brings it all together.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb Salmon fillets, skin on or off
  • 2 large Sweet Potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • 1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • For the Creamy Avocado Dressing:
    • 1 ripe Avocado, mashed
    • 1/4 cup Lime juice
    • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
    • 1 tbsp chopped Cilantro
    • 1/4 tsp Garlic powder
    • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
  2. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, season salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook salmon for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flaky.
  4. To make the creamy avocado dressing, combine mashed avocado, lime juice, yogurt/sour cream, cilantro, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well until smooth.
  5. Assemble your bowls by dividing roasted sweet potatoes among serving bowls. Top with cooked salmon fillets and drizzle generously with the creamy avocado dressing. Garnish with additional cilantro or lime wedges if desired.
