Spiced Salmon with Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Lemon-Dill Yogurt Sauce

A flavorful and healthy weeknight meal featuring salmon baked with aromatic spices, roasted sweet potatoes, and a refreshing yogurt sauce.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb salmon fillet, skin on or off
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp cumin powder
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp coriander
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • For the yogurt sauce:
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, cumin, paprika, coriander, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned.
  2. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the yogurt sauce. Combine the yogurt, lemon juice, dill, garlic, and salt in a small bowl and whisk until smooth.
  3. Place the salmon fillet on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through and flaky.
  4. Serve the baked salmon over the roasted sweet potatoes, topped with the lemon-dill yogurt sauce.
