The Olive Bin

Salmon & Sweet Potato Salad

Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for direct grilling over medium heat. Place plank on grill rack. Grill for about 5 minutes. For vinaigrette, in a bowl, whisk together 1/3 C olive oil, balsamic vinegar, jam, mustard, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp pepper. Set aside. Thread sweet potato chunks onto skewers; set aside. (If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling.) Place salmon, skin side down, on preheated plank. Brush with 1 T of remaining olive oil. Sprink with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper. Place rosemary sprig on top of salmon. Add sweet potato skewers to grill; brush with remaining 1 T olive oil. Grill for 20 minutes or until salmon flakes easily with fork and sweet potatoes are tender, turning sweet potato skewers occasionally. Remove salmon from cedar plank; discard skin. Cut salmon into four portions. Remove potato cubes from skewers. Arrange kale, almonds, dried cranberries, feta, salmon, and sweet potatoes on dinner plates. Serve with vinaigrette.
