Method
Preheat and Prep
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Season Sweet Potatoes
- Slice the half sweet potato into uniform 1/4-inch rounds. Toss these rounds with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper for seasoning.
Arrange Sweet Potatoes
- Place the seasoned sweet potato rounds on the prepared sheet pan, spreading them out in a single layer. Ensure they are not overcrowded to allow for proper caramelization.
Create Lemon-Herb Mixture
- In a small bowl, combine the juice from the lemon wedge, 1 minced clove of garlic, and finely chopped fresh rosemary from 1 sprig.
Prepare Salmon
- Pat the salmon fillet thoroughly dry with paper towels. This helps create a better crust. Brush the prepared lemon-herb mixture evenly over the top of the salmon fillet.
Combine on Pan
- Carefully place the seasoned salmon fillet on the sheet pan alongside the sweet potato rounds.
Roast to Perfection
- Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 12-15 minutes. The exact time will depend on the thickness of your salmon and how tender you like your sweet potatoes. The salmon should flake easily with a fork, and the sweet potatoes should be tender and slightly caramelized at the edges.
Serve
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Serve immediately, enjoying the harmonious blend of citrus, herbs, and roasted flavors.
Notes
This one-pan meal is perfect for a quick and healthy weeknight dinner. Ensure sweet potatoes are cut uniformly for even cooking. Adjust salmon cooking time based on fillet thickness.
