Healthy Salmon Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets (about 4-6 oz each)
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 cup sliced carrots
• 1 cup green beans, trimmed
• 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
• 2 medium purple sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons plant-based butter
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: fresh herbs (like dill or parsley) for garnish

Instructions

1. 1. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) for the sweet potatoes.
2. 2. Wash the purple sweet potatoes and pierce them with a fork. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for about 25 minutes or until tender.
3. 3. While the sweet potatoes are baking, heat 1 tablespoon of EVOO in a large skillet over medium heat.
4. 4. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the salmon skin-side down and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
5. 5. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of EVOO and toss in the broccoli, carrots, green beans, and purple cabbage. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
6. 6. Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven, cut them in half, and add a tablespoon of plant-based butter to each half.
7. 7. Serve the salmon alongside the sautéed vegetables and the purple sweet potato. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
