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