Baked Salmon in Herb Crust with Sweet Potato Fries

01Method

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 200°C.

2. 2

   Toss the sweet potato slices with oil, season with salt and pepper, then spread in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden.

3. 3

   While the potatoes cook, combine the breadcrumb, parsley, lemon zest, chili flakes, and melted butter in a bowl. Season to taste and mix thoroughly.

4. 4

   Coat the top and sides of each salmon fillet with the herb mixture and arrange on a separate baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

5. 5

   Halfway through the sweet potato cooking time, stir them to ensure even browning on all sides. Return them to the oven alongside the prepared salmon and bake together for 12–15 minutes until golden.

6. 6

   Serve the salmon and fries with mayonnaise and lemon wedges, garnished with fresh parsley leaves.
