Ingredients:

4 salmon fillets
2 tbsp sesame seeds
4 sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
2 tbsp butter
1/4 cup milk
500g broccoli, trimmed
2 tbsp olive oil
Soy sauce, for garnish
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1 Prepare the Sweet Potato Mash
Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into chunks. Boil them in salted water until tender, then drain and mash with butter and a splash of milk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
2 Cook the Salmon and Broccoli
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Coat the salmon fillets with sesame seeds and place them on a baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 10-12 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and the sesame seeds are golden. Meanwhile, steam the broccoli until tender-crisp.
3 Finish and Serve
Serve the sesame crusted salmon on a bed of sweet potato mash, with the steamed broccoli on the side. Garnish with a drizzle of soy sauce and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for an extra burst of flavour.
