Medium dice the sweet potatoes. Transfer the vegetables to one sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and the spice blend; toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer. Roast 24 to 26 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.

Pat the fish dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. Place the seasoned fish on the oiled portion of the sheet pan, skin side down.
