A full dinner that’s actually easy to pull off. Lemon pepper salmon straight in the oven, a sweet potato that gets a torched marshmallow finish, and some fresh peaches on the side. That’s a real plate.
The salmon is simple. Olive oil, butter, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and lemon pepper seasoning, then into the oven. The sweet potato takes longer, so it goes in first, then gets sliced open and topped with marshmallows, cinnamon, and salt, finished off with a blow torch for that toasted look.
We really like the individual frozen wild caught salmon fillets from Sam’s Club or Costco for this one. Just thaw what you need and you’re not stuck over-buying or over-making a big fresh fillet you might not finish.
