Preparation

Marinating the Fish

Combine fish and seasonings

Add citrus and aromatics

Add lime juice, lemon juice, garlic, minced chili, sliced onion, and cilantro.

Marinate

Mix well, cover, and refrigerate for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Do not over-marinate the fish to prevent it from becoming mushy. Taste after marination and adjust lime juice as needed.

Preparing the Sweet Potato

Preheat oven

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Toss with oil and salt

Toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil and salt on a baking sheet.

Roast

Roast for 20-25 minutes, until tender, flipping halfway through.

Cooking Process

Marination

Allow the fish to marinate in the citrus juices for the specified time for optimal flavor absorption.

Roasting

Make sure sweet potatoes are evenly spread on the baking sheet for uniform roasting.

Mixing

Toss the marinated fish gently with its marinade before serving.
