1
Remove the salmon fillets from the refrigerator and let them rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking.
2
Use a paper towel to pat dry the top and bottom of each fillet to prevent sticking to the pan.
3
In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and freshly ground black pepper, mixing well to create the seasoning.
4
Press the seasoning mixture onto both sides of the salmon fillets, then set aside.
5
In a cast iron skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat for a couple of minutes.
6
Add the salmon fillets to the skillet, skin-side down, and cook for 6-8 minutes (time may vary based on fillet thickness) without moving them.
7
Flip the fillets carefully and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove the salmon from the pan and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, then set aside.
8
In the same skillet over medium-high heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then add the red onions and cook until they soften and turn golden.
9
Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
10
Add the sweet potatoes and 1/4 cup of water to the skillet, stirring occasionally. Cover with a lid and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
11
Add the kale, a pinch of salt, freshly ground pepper, and red chili flakes to the skillet, mixing well. Cook uncovered until the kale wilts down.
12
Return the salmon fillets to the pan, nestling them among the vegetables. Cook for an additional minute or until heated through. Serve and enjoy!
