Description
Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, a type of heart-healthy fat that can decrease inflammation and support brain health. Salmon also contains a high amount of selenium which is an important nutrient for thyroid hormone metabolism. Look for wild salmon fresh or frozen.
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 420°F.
Step 2
Place sweet potato cubes on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Toss to coat and arrange in a single layer. Roast for 10 minutes, toss, then continue roasting until the potatoes are soft and browned in places, about 5 minutes more.
Step 3
Meanwhile, whisk shallot, vinegar, mustard, maple syrup (or honey), the remaining pinch of salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl.
Gradually whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons oil until the vinaigrette comes together. ( add a tablespoon of water if the dressing is too thick)
Step 4
Toss together arugula and dressing in a large bowl. Top with the sweet potatoes and sprinkle with walnuts, pomegranate and goat cheese (if using). Serve immediately.
