Instructions

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Toss the diced sweet potatoes with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of oil; add to the pan and sauté for 10-12 minutes until tender and caramelized at the edges.

While the potatoes cook, season the salmon fillet generously on all sides with the Cajun seasoning, pressing it into the flesh.

Push the sweet potatoes to one side of the skillet. Add the salmon fillet skin-side down. Sear for 4 minutes until the skin is crispy and the edges of the fish turn opaque.

Carefully flip the salmon. Add the chopped onions and kale to the empty side of the pan. Sauté the greens until they are wilted and bright green, about 3 minutes.

Remove from heat once the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Plate the crispy salmon alongside the skillet-charred sweet potatoes and wilted kale. Garnish with a squeeze of fresh lemon if desired for an acid lift.
