Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into wedges.
2
Toss the sweet potato wedges with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, half the salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Spread on a baking tray and roast for 25-30 minutes, turning once, until golden and tender.
3
Season the salmon fillets with the remaining salt, black pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
4
Heat the remaining olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon fillets skin-side down for 3 minutes, add the minced garlic, then transfer to the oven for 6-8 minutes until cooked through.
5
While the salmon finishes cooking, steam or blanch the broccoli for 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
6
Plate the salmon fillets alongside the roasted sweet potato wedges and broccoli. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon and serve immediately.
