Ingredients
- 1 cup Broccolini washed
- 1/2 cup Sweet Potatoes washed, peeled and diced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 6 oz Salmon
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Wash and rinse sweet potato and broccolini. Set aside broccolini.
- Peel and cut sweet potato into bite size pieces or desired size.
- Once cut, place sweet potato and broccolini on a lined baking sheet and drizzle olive oil over top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place potatoes and broccolini in the oven and roast.
- The sweet potatoes will take about 30 minutes to roast or until they are soft and golden. Broccolini will take about 10-15 minutes.
- While the vegetables are cooking, sprinkle salt and pepper on salmon.
- Preheat skillet on stove on medium heat to cook salmon. Once heated, place salmon non-skin side down on the pan to get a nice sear.
- Allow salmon to cook for a few minutes on this side then flip over. Cook salmon to desired doneness making sure the internal temperature reaches at least 145 degrees F (this can be checked via a meat thermometer).
