Hi Folks! We are glad to be back to share with you another recipe inspiration from our Foodie Tuesday Food Blog Series. This week Smarty Marty brings us this delicious Crispy Salmon with Smashed Sweet Potatoes dinner idea. So if you are ready lets get started with the necessary ingredients to cook up this delicious delight.
Ingredients:
Smashed Sweet Potatoes:
1/4 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled, quartered and cut into 1/4-inch wedges
2 tablespoons maple syrup
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salmon:
1 tablespoon olive oil
Four 3- to 4-ounce skin-on Atlantic salmon fillets, patted dry
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 sprigs fresh thyme
2 cloves smashed garlic
Directions
For the smashed sweet potatoes: Heat cream and butter in a medium saucepan until melted together. Add sweet potatoes and gently simmer, covered, stirring frequently, until potatoes are super tender, about 30 minutes. Add maple syrup and mash with a potato masher until smooth and uniform. Season to taste with plenty of salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm.
For the salmon: Heat olive oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper all over. Lay in pan, skin-side down, and let cook, undisturbed, until skin is very crispy, 5 to 6 minutes. Gently flip the salmon and add butter, thyme and garlic and cook until salmon is desired temperature, 3 to 4 minutes for medium.
Divide sweet potatoes among four plates, then top each with a crispy salmon fillet. Add a handful of salad on the side of each, then top salad with orange segments and drizzle the salmon with the butter sauce from the pan.
