1. Sweet Potato Puree

Turn on the oven at 260 F. Bake the whole sweet potato until just tender. It should take about 25 min. Skin the potato and cut it in two halves. Take half of it and mash it with a blender with half the amount of olive/avocado oil, salt and pepper. Set aside.

2. Quinoa

Cook the quinoa according to the instructions on the package and let it cool down and rest.

3. Salad

Cut the rest of the sweet potato in cubes, and put it in the bowl with cubed avocado, finely chopped spring onions, washed spinach, olive/avocado oil, juice from two limes, herbs and season with salt and pepper.

4. Salmon

Divide the salmon filets in 4 equal pieces. Season them and brush with vegetable oil. Grill the salmon on the grill or in a grill pan 4-5 minutes on one side, flip and let it rest for a couple of minutes.

5. Serve

Serve it up and top it with pomegranate seeds, lime wedges, and extra herbs. Serve with the sweet potato puree. Optional: serve with extra totopos/tortilla chips.
