Instructions

1
Preheat oven and prepare sweet potatoes: Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). On a large baking sheet, toss sweet potato wedges with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and slightly caramelized.
2
Prepare the maple glaze: While sweet potatoes roast, whisk together maple syrup, soy sauce, minced garlic, and optional ground ginger in a small bowl. Set aside.
3
Prepare salmon: Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper. After the sweet potatoes have roasted for 20-25 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven.
4
Glaze and bake salmon: Push the sweet potatoes to one side of the baking sheet. Place the salmon fillets on the other side. Brush each salmon fillet generously with half of the maple glaze. Return the baking sheet to the oven.
5
Finish baking: Bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 63°C (145°F). Halfway through baking the salmon, brush with the remaining glaze.
6
Serve: Remove from oven, garnish with fresh parsley or chives, and serve the maple glazed salmon immediately with the roasted sweet potatoes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I grill or pan-sear the salmon instead of baking?

Yes, you can! For grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high, lightly oil the grates, and grill the salmon skin-side down for 4-6 minutes, then flip, brush with glaze, and cook for another 3-5 minutes. For pan-searing, heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, sear skin-side down for 4-5 minutes, flip, brush with glaze, and cook for 2-3 minutes until done.

What can I use if I don't have maple syrup?

While maple syrup provides a unique flavor, you can substitute it with honey or brown sugar mixed with a little water to form a glaze. The flavor profile will be slightly different but still delicious.

How can I tell if the salmon is cooked through?

Salmon is cooked when it flakes easily with a fork and its color changes from translucent to opaque throughout. For the most accurate measure, an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part should read 63°C (145°F).
