- Meanwhile, steam the salmon fillet in a separate basket or on a plate above the simmering sweet potatoes for about 10 minutes until fully cooked and flaky.
- Once the sweet potatoes are soft, drain any excess liquid and transfer to a mixing bowl.
- Add the cooked salmon to the bowl and mash together with a fork or potato masher until you reach a smooth, creamy consistency.
- If desired, mix in a pinch of dill or parsley for added flavor.
