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 fillet, 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

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray.
Combine mayonnaise and chili powder in a small bowl. Set aside.
Toss sweet potatoes with 2 tsp. oil, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/8 tsp. pepper in a medium bowl.
Spread on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, toss broccoli with the remaining 2 tsp. oil, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/8 tsp. pepper in the same bowl.
Remove the baking sheet from oven. Stir the sweet potatoes and move them to the sides of the pan. Arrange salmon in the center of the pan and spread the broccoli on either side, among the sweet potatoes.
Spread 2 Tbsp. 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.
Meanwhile, add lime zest and lime juice to the remaining 1 Tbsp. mayonnaise; mix well.
Divide the salmon among 4 plates and top with cheese and cilantro.
Divide the sweet potatoes and broccoli among the plates and drizzle with the lime-mayonnaise sauce. Serve with lime wedges and any remaining sauce.

SHEET-PAN SALMON AND BROCCOLI WITH SESAME AND GINGER

Sheet-Pan Salmon and Broccoli With Sesame and Ginger image

A healthy sheet-pan dinner that comes together in just 20 minutes? Sign us up. Brushing a simple sesame-ginger glaze onto the salmon before it roasts promotes caramelization on the fish, a feat not easily accomplished when roasting salmon fillets. The garnishes give this dinner a professional finish: A squeeze of lime juice, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and a handful of thinly sliced scallions make for a beautiful plate.

Ingredients

4 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated (about 1 tablespoon)
1 garlic clove, finely grated
1 pound broccoli, trimmed and cut into florets, thick stems discarded
2 scallions, trimmed and cut diagonally into 1 1/2-inch segments, plus thinly sliced scallions for garnish
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for brushing the salmon
Kosher salt and black pepper
4 (6-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets
1/2 lime, for serving
Sesame seeds, for serving

Steps:

Heat the oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk 3 tablespoons sesame oil with the soy sauce, vinegar, honey, ginger and garlic until smooth. Set the glaze aside.
Place the broccoli florets and 1 1/2-inch scallion segments on a sheet pan. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, toss well and roast for 5 minutes.
While the broccoli and scallions roast, place the salmon fillets on a plate and pat dry with paper towels. Brush all over with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Toss the broccoli and scallions and move to the edges of the pan, clearing spaces in the center for the salmon fillets. Place the salmon fillets, evenly spaced, on the center of the pan. Brush the fillets generously with the glaze.
Return the pan to the oven and roast until the salmon is cooked through but still slightly rare in the center, about 12 minutes.
Squeeze the lime over the broccoli and sprinkle with salt. Scatter the sliced scallions and sesame seeds over the salmon, and serve hot.
