Sweet potatoes are packed with fiber and antioxidants, supporting blood sugar control and immune function.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
4 teaspoons olive oil, divided
½ teaspoon salt, divided
¼ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
4 cups broccoli florets (8 oz.; 1 medium crown)
1 ¼ pounds salmon filet, cut into 4 portions
2 limes, 1 zested and juiced, 1 cut into wedges for serving
¼ cup crumbled feta or cotija cheese
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and chili powder. Set aside.

Step 3

Toss sweet potatoes with 2 teaspoons of oil, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of pepper in a medium bowl.
Spread the sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes.

Step 4

While the sweet potatoes roast, toss broccoli with the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of pepper in the same bowl.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven, stir the sweet potatoes, and move them to the sides of the pan.
Place the salmon in the center and arrange the broccoli on either side among the sweet potatoes.
Spread 2 tablespoons of the mayonnaise mixture over the salmon.
Bake until the sweet potatoes are tender and the salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes.

Step 5

Meanwhile, mix lime zest and lime juice into the remaining 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise.

Step 6

Divide the salmon among 4 plates, topping with cheese and cilantro.
Distribute the sweet potatoes and broccoli among the plates and drizzle with the lime-mayonnaise sauce.
Serve with lime wedges and any remaining sauce.
