Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 F. In a bowl, add sweet potato wedges and red onion wedges, drizzle with oil and spices and toss to combine.
  2. Lightly spray sheet pan with nonstick spray. Spread bowl contents onto pan. Sprinkle a bit of salt and place into preheated oven.
  3. On another sheet pan, layer 2 pieces of foil (large enough to wrap around your salmon) with one horizontal and one vertical. Spray lightly with nonstick spray and place salmon on top.
  4. In a jar, add all of baked salmon ingredients except for lemon rounds. Shake vigorously until combined. Drizzle mixture over salmon.
  5. Place lemon rounds on top and in between salmon pieces (if cut into filets). Wrap foil around salmon and place in oven.
  6. Bake salmon for 18–25 minutes, depending on thickness, until cooked through. Internal temperature should be 140 F.
  7. Uncover carefully and place oven on broil. Let salmon and vegetables broil for 3–5 minutes until slightly golden on top. Then, take out of oven to cool.
  8. In same jar used for the salmon marinade, add honey mustard ingredients. Shake vigorously until combined. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
  9. In a large bowl, mix leafy greens, cooked farro or brown rice, roasted sweet potato and red onion wedges, fresh herbs and a few spoonfuls of honey mustard to taste. Mix until combined and coated.
  10.  Add a pinch of salt, separate into bowls and place salmon on top. Squeeze some fresh lemon, drizzle a bit of oil and enjoy!
