Cooking steps
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the diced sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until golden and tender.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the asparagus to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until the asparagus is tender-crisp. Remove the asparagus from the skillet and set aside.
Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Place them skin-side down in the same skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven. Serve the salmon fillets on plates alongside the roasted sweet potatoes and asparagus.
Garnish with optional lemon wedges, fresh parsley or basil before serving.

Cooking a new dish
Starting to cook a new dish begins with selecting a recipe that matches your skill level and gathering all the necessary ingredients. Before diving in, read through the entire recipe to understand the steps and timing involved. Next, prepare your workspace by cleaning the countertops, organizing your tools, and setting out ingredients. Prepping the ingredients—such as washing, chopping, and measuring—is key to ensuring a smooth cooking process. As you cook, follow the recipe step by step, taking your time and tasting along the way to adjust flavors. Finally, serve the dish with care and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Preparing your workspace correctly
Preparing your workspace involves starting with clean countertops, organizing your tools and equipment, and setting out all the necessary ingredients within reach. Arrange your tools, like knives, cutting boards, and measuring cups, close by for easy access, and pre-measure ingredients if possible to save time during cooking. It's helpful to have a trash bowl for food scraps to keep the area tidy. Ensure your workspace is well-lit and free of unnecessary items to maximize space. If your recipe requires it, preheat the oven or pans while organizing your space. Having a clean and organized workspace makes the cooking process more efficient and enjoyable.
Preparing your ingredients in advance
Prepping ingredients, or "mise en place," involves getting everything ready before cooking. This includes washing and chopping vegetables, measuring out ingredients, and preparing items like garlic, onions, or meat as required by the recipe. You might also marinate, soften, or melt ingredients if needed. Once prepped, arrange everything in small bowls or containers for easy access during cooking. This preparation helps streamline the cooking process and ensures you can focus on cooking without interruptions.
