Sun-Kissed Salmon with Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Pistachios

A vibrant and flavorful dish featuring seared salmon, sweet roasted potatoes, crunchy pistachios, and a zesty lemon herb dressing.

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs salmon fillet, skin on
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped pistachios
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned.
  2. While the sweet potatoes roast, season salmon fillets with salt, pepper, lemon zest, rosemary, and thyme. Heat remaining olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon skin-side down for 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  3. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake alongside the sweet potatoes for 8-10 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through.
  4. To serve, plate roasted sweet potatoes and top with seared salmon. Sprinkle with chopped pistachios and a drizzle of lemon juice.
