Cooking Instructions
  1. 1
    Preheat & Prep Pan

    • Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment for easy cleanup.
  2. 2
    Prep the Sweet Potatoes
    • In a large bowl, toss sweet potato wedges with olive oil, smoked paprika, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
    • Spread them out in a single layer on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
  3. 3
    Roast the Sweet Potatoes
    • Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
    • They should begin to soften and lightly caramelize.
  4. 4
    Make the Maple Glaze
    • While the potatoes roast, whisk together maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, grated ginger, lemon zest, and juice in a small bowl.
    • Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  5. 5
    Prepare the Salmon
    • Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
    • Season lightly with salt and pepper.

    • Place salmon fillets skin-side down (if applicable) on the empty side.
  6. 6
    Glaze & Roast
    • Brush each fillet generously with the maple glaze, then return the sheet to the oven.
    • Roast for 10–12 minutes, until salmon is opaque in the center and flakes easily with a fork, and sweet potatoes are tender and golden.
  7. 7
    Broil for Finish
    • For extra caramelization, switch the oven to broil, and broil for 1–2 minutes.
    • Watch closely to prevent burning.
  8. 8
    Rest & GarnishSalmon Recipes
    • Remove from oven.
    • Let salmon rest 2 minutes, then garnish with chopped parsley (or cilantro).

Note
  • Ensure sweet potatoes are evenly coated so they caramelize uniformly.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan, give salmon room so it roasts rather than steams.
  • Watch the broiler closely, maple syrup can burn quickly under high heat.
  • Let salmon rest briefly, it continues cooking and juices redistribute for optimal flakiness.
