Step 1

Step 2

Wash and dry the fresh produce: 1 1/2 lb sweet potatoes; 4 medium zucchini squash; 1 small bunch green onions (scallions); 2 (1 inch) pieces ginger root.

Step 3

Peel and medium dice the sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes; transfer to a large baking sheet.

Step 4

Trim and discard the ends of the zucchini; medium dice the zucchini into 1/2-inch cubes and add to the baking sheet.

Step 5

Peel and mince the garlic; sprinkle over the vegetables. (4 cloves garlic)

Step 6

Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat, then arrange in a single layer. (2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil; 1/2 tsp salt; 1/2 tsp black pepper)

Step 7

Place the vegetables in the oven (even if it is not fully heated yet) and cook for 10 minutes while you prepare the salmon.

Step 8

Peel and mince or grate the ginger; transfer to a medium bowl (that can hold the salmon).

Step 9

Add soy sauce, olive oil, sesame oil, and honey to the ginger; whisk together. (2 tbsp soy sauce; 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil; 1 tsp toasted sesame oil; 1 tsp honey)

Step 10

Place the salmon in the bowl and coat with the sauce. (1 1/2 lb salmon fillet)

Step 11

Take the baking sheet out of the oven and move the vegetables to the sides of the tray; place the salmon, skin-side-down, in the middle of the tray and pour any remaining marinade overtop.

Step 12

Return the tray to the oven and bake until the salmon is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, another 10 to 12 minutes.

Step 13

While the vegetables and salmon cook, trim and discard the ends of the green onions; chop the onions on an angle into ¼-inch pieces.

Step 14

To serve, place the roasted vegetables and salmon on a plate and sprinkle with the green onions and sesame seeds. 1 tsp sesame seeds.
