Categories     Fish

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
2 tsp unsalted butter, softened
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
1/2-1 tsp harissa paste
1 lemon (zest of)
1/8 c fresh cilantro, chopped
salt and pepper, to taste
1 piece gingerroot (1-inch) peeled and grated
2 white fish filets, skinless

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350°F Coat a small baking dish (big enough to just hold fish filets) with nonstick cooking spray.
  • 2. Cook the sweet potatoes in boiling, salted water for about 10 minutes or until just tender when pierced with a knife.
  • 3. Meanwhile, mix together the butter with the garlic, harissa, lemon zest, and cilantro.
  • 4. When the potatoes are ready, drain thoroughly, mash with the ginger and add salt and pepper to taste; keep warm.
  • 5. Place the fish in baking pan, season with salt and pepper, then spread half the butter mixture over each fillet. Bake for about 8 minutes until just cooked through.
  • 6. Serve with the mashed sweet potatoes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Pierce the sweet potatoes before baking: This will help them cook faster and more evenly.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes until they are tender: You can check this by inserting a fork or knife into the center of the potato. If it goes in easily, the potato is done.
  • Let the sweet potatoes cool slightly before handling them: This will prevent them from breaking apart.
  • Use a potato ricer or masher to get a smooth and fluffy texture: If you don't have a potato ricer or masher, you can use a fork, but it will take a little longer to get the desired consistency.
  • Add your favorite spices and seasonings: This is where you can get creative and make the sweet potato mash your own. Some popular spices and seasonings include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and cloves.
  • Serve the sweet potato mash immediately: It is best enjoyed warm and fresh.

Conclusion:

Spiced sweet potato mash is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It is also a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
