Ingredients

1.5 pound salmon fillet (skin on or off)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon dried dill
0.75 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon black pepper
1.5 pound asparagus (tough ends trimmed)
1 pint cherry tomatoes
2 sweet potatoes (medium, peeled and chopped)
2 tablespoon coconut milk (full-fat)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Pat salmon fillets dry. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried dill, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Rub this mixture over the salmon fillets.
On the prepared baking sheet, arrange the asparagus and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with a tiny bit of olive oil (from the 1 tablespoon used for salmon) and season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Place the salmon fillets on the same baking sheet with the vegetables. Roast for 12-15 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and vegetables are tender-crisp.
While salmon and vegetables roast, place chopped sweet potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl with 1/4 cup water. Microwave on high for 5-7 minutes or until very tender. Drain any remaining water, then mash with coconut milk until smooth. Season the mashed sweet potatoes with an additional pinch of salt if needed.
Serve the roasted salmon with asparagus and cherry tomatoes, accompanied by the mashed sweet potatoes.

Notes

Using pre-chopped garlic can save extra time on prep.
