Spiced Salmon with Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Rosemary Quinoa

A vibrant and flavorful dish that combines the richness of salmon with the sweetness of roasted sweet potatoes and the earthy aroma of rosemary quinoa.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb salmon fillet, skin on
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned.
  2. While the sweet potatoes roast, prepare the quinoa according to package directions, using vegetable broth instead of water. Stir in the chopped rosemary during the last minute of cooking.
  3. Season the salmon fillet with salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (if using).
  4. Place the salmon on top of the roasted sweet potatoes. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Serve the spiced salmon with the rosemary quinoa and roasted sweet potatoes. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
