Ingredients
  

For the Salmon:

2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon honey

2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh dill or parsley for garnish (optional)

For the Sweet Potato Mash:

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/4 cup milk (or more for desired consistency)

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare the Salmon: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Place the salmon fillets on a lined baking sheet, skin-side down. Brush the mixture generously over the top of the salmon fillets.

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

        Cook the Sweet Potatoes: While the salmon is baking, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return them to the pot.

          Mash the Sweet Potatoes: Add the butter, milk, cinnamon (if using), salt, and pepper to the cooked sweet potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust the milk for desired consistency.

            Serve: Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven. Plate the sweet potato mash first, then top with the baked salmon. Garnish with fresh dill or parsley if desired.

              Enjoy your delightful Quick Baked Salmon with Sweet Potato Mash, a dish that's both healthy and satisfying!
