▹ How to Make Salmon Sweet Potato Power Bowl

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the sweet potato: Wash the sweet potato and cut it into small cubes. Toss with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
3. Roast the sweet potato: Spread the cubes on the baking sheet and roast for about 20–25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until tender and lightly browned.
4. Prepare the salmon: Place the salmon fillet on the baking sheet during the last 12–15 minutes of cooking. Season with black pepper and a small amount of garlic powder.
5. Bake the salmon: Bake until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
6. Prepare the greens: Wash and dry the leafy greens, then add them to a large serving bowl.
7. Add the vegetables: Slice the avocado and arrange it over the greens along with the roasted sweet potato.
8. Add the salmon: Place the baked salmon on top of the bowl.
9. Finish and serve: Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds, drizzle with the remaining olive oil and fresh lemon juice, and serve immediately.

▹ Helpful Tips

• Cut the sweet potato into evenly sized cubes so it cooks at the same rate.
• Do not overcook the salmon to help keep it tender and moist.
• Add the avocado shortly before serving for the freshest texture.
• Use baby spinach, arugula, kale, or a mixed greens blend as the base.
• For meal prep, store the greens and avocado separately from the warm ingredients until serving.
