Spiced Salmon with Roasted Sweet Potato and Pistachio Crumble

A vibrant and flavorful dish featuring succulent salmon, sweet roasted potatoes, and a crunchy pistachio crumble infused with warming spices.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless salmon fillet
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss the diced sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, cumin, paprika, coriander, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Spread in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. While the sweet potatoes roast, place the salmon fillet on a separate piece of parchment paper. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Bake the salmon alongside the sweet potatoes for the last 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the chopped pistachios, feta cheese, and parsley.
  7. To serve, place a roasted sweet potato on each plate, top with the baked salmon, and sprinkle generously with the pistachio crumble.
