Main Ingredients

4 fillets salmon fillets (fresh or thawed, skin-on) Go for skin-on; it keeps the salmon moist and adds a wonderful richness as it roasts.
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced Cut them into even-sized cubes for consistent cooking!
3 cups broccoli florets Feel free to adjust the amount based on your preference!
3 tablespoons olive oil Extra virgin olive oil adds richness and helps with roasting—plus, it’s heart-healthy!
1 teaspoon garlic powder This simple seasoning elevates the dish!
1 teaspoon smoked paprika Brings a warm, smoky flavor that complements the salmon perfectly!
to taste Salt Seasoning is key; taste as you go to ensure all the flavors shine!
to taste Black pepper A sprinkle of fresh ground black pepper adds just the right amount of kick!
2 wedges lemon, for squeezing over the finished dish Fresh lemon juice brightens the dish and enhances the flavors!

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into even-sized cubes, about 1-inch pieces. Trim the broccoli into bite-sized florets.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.

Cooking

In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes and broccoli with the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Spread the sweet potatoes evenly on a parchment-lined sheet pan and roast for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, add the broccoli florets to the pan and place the salmon fillets skin-side down.
Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for an additional 12-15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Once out of the oven, squeeze lemon wedges over the salmon and veggies.

Notes

Make sure to cut your sweet potatoes and broccoli to similar sizes for even cooking. Using parchment paper will make cleanup easier. Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of your salmon and veggie sizes. Fresh ingredients make a difference!
