Ingredients
- 6 breaded fish fillets
- 2 sweet potatoes (medium, peeled, diced)
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 package fresh spinach
- 5 ounce mixed greens
- 1 cup cherry tomato (halved)
- 0.5 cucumber (diced)
- 0.25 cup lemon juice (fresh)
- 0.25 cup olive oil (extra virgin)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. On a baking sheet, toss the diced sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, turning once. While sweet potatoes roast, prepare the fish.
- Arrange the breaded fish fillets on a separate baking sheet or in an air fryer basket. Cook according to package directions, typically 12-15 minutes at 400°F in an oven or 10-12 minutes in an air fryer, until golden brown and crispy.
- While the fish and sweet potatoes cook, prepare the lemon vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, the remaining 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, Dijon mustard, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper until emulsified.
- In a large bowl, combine the fresh spinach, mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, and diced cucumber.
- Once the fish and sweet potatoes are done, divide the greens mixture among 6 bowls. Top each with a warm breaded fish fillet and a portion of roasted sweet potatoes. Drizzle generously with the lemon vinaigrette and serve immediately.
Notes
Leftovers are best enjoyed cold as a salad or reheated quickly, but the fish may lose some crispness.
