Directions

Prepare the Japanese Sweet Potatoes

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Rinse and slice the yams very thinly (about 1/8 inch).

3. Line two or three REAL metal (very important) cookie sheets with Gefen Easy Baking Parchment Paper (disposable pans will produce soft chips that don’t crisp up; parchment paper helps absorb moisture in baking and keeps chips from sticking to the pan) and lay out the yams in a single layer leaving a bit of space between each one – make sure none are overlapping. Spray with oil and season with salt.

4. Bake for 30 minutes and then remove any slices that look baked completely, as some parts will bake faster than others. Flip the rest and continue to bake until desired crispness is reached.

Prepare the Salmon

1. Combine all dressing ingredients. Measure out 1/4 cup for marinating, and set the remainder aside. Marinate cubed salmon in the dressing for at least 15 minutes.

2. Preheat oven to broil. Place salmon cubes on a baking sheet, spaced apart, and broil for eight to 10 minutes.

To Serve

1. In the meantime prepare salad ingredients. Add warm chips and fish and toss with desired amount of dressing.

Notes:

You will have leftover dressing for the next time you make the salad or to use as a marinade on fish or stir-fried veggies. (You may even want to double it!)

Can I use an immersion blender for the dressing? Besides for a way easier cleanup, I trade rories Succos fall salad dressing from last year, and although it was delish, it squirted out of the Top edges of my cuisinart food processor between top and the lid after it was tightly fastened… this is the one I have:

Also I’m assuming will also be good as grilled chicken salad instead of salmon, right?

Yes, you can definitely use an immersion blender instead (that’s what I personally do many times) and you can also replace salmon for grilled chicken.
