This Jerk Salmon and Sweet Potatoes make a great and tasty dinner!

jerk salmon and sweet potatoes- Hero - It is a keeper

Hello again! This is Clare from Happy Eater, and I’ve got a great recipe to share with you today. This jerk salmon and sweet potatoes recipe came about when I was trying to come up with a jerk salmon recipe and had way too much seasoning left over. Instead of cutting the proportions, I decided to add the remaining seasoning to mashed sweet potatoes. The result was a deliciously seasoned meal that is sure to make you one happy eater!

If this recipe sounds yummy, then you’ll definitely enjoy my Indian Spiced Green Eggs and Smoky Tomatillo Chicken recipes! You can visit my Recipes page for more goodies 🙂

You can make this recipe in the oven or on the grill. Because we’re still in the thick of summer, I suggest using the grill and not heating up your home!

Salmon and sweet potatoes are a natural pairing! What are some of your favorite food combos?
