Ingredients
Roasted Sweet Potatoes
- 4 medium size sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Honey Glazed Salmon with Flax Seed
- 4 salmon fillets 7-8 oz per fillet
- 1/4 cup flax seed
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons less sodium soy sauce
Instructions
Roasted Sweet Potatoes
- Preheat oven to 400℉.
- Wash, peel, and slice sweet potatoes.
- Transfer potatoes to a large bowl and add butter, salt, pepper, and cinnamon. Mix well with a rubber spatula until potatoes are evenly coated.
- Arrange on a rimmed baking sheet evenly. Roast for 20 minutes, flip sweet potatoes, and roast for another 15-20 minutes. Leave oven at 400℉ for salmon.
- Cover with foil until time to serve.
Honey Glazed Salmon
- Add flax seed to a food processor and pulse several times until somewhat ground but not all of the way. Transfer to a shallow dish.
- Combine honey and soy sauce in a small bowl and stir well.
- Rinse fillets and pat dry with paper towels. Spray with olive oil spray or non-stick cooking spray.
- Dip non-skin side of fillets into the ground flax seed to coat. Then brush coated side with the honey and soy sauce mixture.
- Heat olive oil in a cast iron pan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes or until oil moves around on the pan very easily when you lift it.
- Transfer salmon fillets to pan skin-side up and sear for one minute. While fillets are searing, brush the skin side with the honey and soy sauce mixture. Remove from heat and bake 7-10 minutes. Recommend checking after 7 minutes and if fillets flake easily then they are done. I love salmon but not when it's dry.
- Serve with roasted sweet potatoes and side salad if you wish.
