Spiced Salmon with Roasted Sweet Potato & Citrus Salsa

Ingredients:

• 1 lb salmon fillet, skin on
• 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp paprika
• ¼ tsp cumin
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• For the Salsa:
  • 1 orange, zested and juiced
  • 1 lime, zested and juiced
  • ½ cup chopped cilantro
  • ¼ red onion, finely diced
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, 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, pat the salmon dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until cooked through.
3. To make the salsa, combine orange zest, lime zest, orange juice, lime juice, cilantro, red onion, and jalapeño (if using) in a bowl. Stir well.
4. Serve the roasted sweet potatoes topped with the pan-seared salmon and a generous spoonful of citrus salsa.
