Ingredients:
- 2 salmon fillets (wild-caught if possible)
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin

- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
- Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Once done, set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until they begin to soften.
- Add the chopped onion and diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, and smoked paprika. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Break the baked salmon into chunks and gently fold it into the sweet potato hash. Cook for a few minutes until the salmon is heated through.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the Salmon and Sweet Potato Hash in bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro, if desired.
