1 Red Bell Pepper
100 grams Sweet Potato
2 tsp Olive Oil
1 pinch Salt
100 grams Atlantic Salmon
1 wedge Lemon
1/2 tsp Paprika
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 200c (400f). Then place some parchment paper onto a baking tray.
Step 2: Slice the bell pepper and sweet potato and then lay them onto the paper. Drizzle with half the olive oil, the paprika, and half the salt then toss to coat. Spread out into an even layer. Put the sheet pan inside the oven and let her roast for 10 minutes!
Step 3: On the second sheet pan, place the salmon and coat evenly with the remaining olive oil. Drizzle the salmon with a little lemon juice and then pat with a little salt and oregano!
Step 4: After the pepper and sweet potato is nicely cooked, remove the baking sheet, place the 2nd baking sheet inside the oven then set the timer for 10 minutes.
Step 5: Serve up! Or, if meal prepping, portion the sweet potatoes into your food containers then put even portions of salmon into each. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
