This recipe is not only delicious but also packed with essential nutrients, making it a perfect choice for a healthy and satisfying dinner.

Ingredients:

6 oz salmon
170g
1.50 tbsp lemon juice
22g
1/2 sweet potato
60g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1/2 cup mushrooms
36g
1 cup spinach
30g
1 tbsp butter
14g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sweet Potato Mash:
- Place the cubed sweet potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with water.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer until tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- Drain and return the sweet potatoes to the saucepan.
- Add the butter and mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside and keep warm.
2. Cook the Salmon:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the salmon fillet on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1.5 tablespoons of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork. The exact time will depend on the thickness of the fillet.
3. Sauté the Mushrooms and Spinach:
- While the salmon is baking, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they're soft and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Plate and Serve:
- Place a portion of the sweet potato mash onto each plate.
- Add a serving of sautéed mushrooms and spinach next to the mash.
- Top with the baked salmon fillet.
- Drizzle any remaining juices from the baking sheet over the salmon for extra flavor.
5. Optional Garnish:
- If desired, garnish with an extra lemon wedge or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or dill.

Tips:

- Ensure the salmon is fresh and of high quality for the best flavor and texture.

- When mashing the sweet potatoes, adjust the consistency to your preference by adding a bit more butter or even a splash of milk or cream.

- Sauté the mushrooms until they are golden brown for a more robust flavor.

- Season the spinach with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance its natural taste.

- Lemon juice can be adjusted according to personal taste; add more if you prefer a tangier dish.

- If you prefer a crispy skin on your salmon, start by searing it skin-side down in a hot pan before baking.

With its balance of flavors and textures, Salmon with spinach and sweet potato mash is sure to become a favorite in your meal rotation. The vibrant colors and delightful taste make it a visually appealing and mouth-watering dish. Serve it to impress guests at a dinner party or enjoy it as a wholesome weeknight meal.
