Ingredients
  

2 (6 oz) salmon fillets

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 tablespoon honey

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a medium pot, bring water to a boil. Add diced sweet potatoes and boil for about 15 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and return them to the pot.

      Make the Sweet Potato Mash: Mash the sweet potatoes in the pot. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Optionally, add a pinch of cinnamon for a warm flavor. Keep warm.

        Prepare the Salmon: On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, place the salmon fillets. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, smoked paprika, honey, salt, and pepper.

          Bake the Salmon: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

            Serve: On a plate, create a bed of sweet potato mash and top it with the baked salmon. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing.
