Chef's Note
For the perfect salmon, look for the white protein to just begin appearing on the sides of the fillet - this indicates it's nearly done. Remove from the oven at this point as the residual heat will continue cooking the fish to perfection while resting.

2 cloves, minced garlic
1 tsp, grated fresh ginger
2 medium, cubed sweet potatoes

Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- 2
In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp grated ginger to create the glaze. Set aside.
- 3
Peel and cut 2 medium sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Dice 1 medium red bell pepper and 1/2 medium red onion.
- 4
On a large baking sheet, toss the sweet potatoes, red bell pepper, and red onion with 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper.
- 5
Add 2 sprigs of fresh thyme to the vegetable mixture and spread in an even layer on the baking sheet.
- 6
Roast the vegetables for 15 minutes, then remove from oven and stir.
- 7
While vegetables are roasting, pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper.
- 8
Heat a medium oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 tbsp olive oil.
- 9
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and sear for 3 minutes until the skin is crispy.
- 10
Brush the salmon generously with the maple glaze, reserving some for later.
- 11
Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast alongside the vegetables for about 8-10 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through but still slightly pink in the center.
- 12
During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the salmon with the remaining glaze.
- 13
Remove both the salmon and vegetables from the oven. Discard the thyme sprigs from the vegetable medley.
- 14
Serve the maple-glazed salmon alongside the roasted sweet potato medley.
