Salty-tart and just-sweet-enough ponzu sauce is a great back-pocket finisher for everything from salads to roasted vegetables, especially when you are tired of your everyday vinaigrette.

Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325°. Coat potatoes with 1 Tbsp. olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt. Arrange potatoes cut side down and roast until tender, 30–40 minutes.
Step 2
When potatoes are halfway done, coat salmon with 1 Tbsp. olive oil on another rimmed baking sheet; season with salt. Roast salmon until just opaque in the center, 16–18 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, mix ginger, garlic, lime juice, tamari, honey, sesame oil, and remaining 2 Tbsp. olive oil in a small bowl; season with salt.
Step 4
Break potatoes and salmon into large pieces. Divide potatoes, salmon, celery, and pear among plates. Drizzle with ponzu dressing, then top with scallions and sesame seeds.

Back to TopThis was so easy yet delicious! perfect balance of sweet and savory, and the lower temperature bake for the salmon resulted in a super tender result.

This was tasty but I'd make a few adjustments. First, let the sweet potatoes cool for at least a half hour before cutting and mixing into the salad. If you don't do so, the salad will just be one mushy mess (as it was for me). Further, the corresponding photo shows regular potatoes in addition to sweet potatoes, whereas the recipe only calls for sweet potatoes. I'd add regular potatoes to improve the consistency.

To the anonymous poster, good idea about letting potatoes cool. Might also be a good idea to splash some dressing on them before they cool to boost the flavor. Potatoes absorb more liquid when warm. In the picture, those are pears, not regular potatoes. Pears are even mentioned in the recipe.

I followed the directions exactly and thought this was surprisingly delicious. I did not find it mushy as a previous reviewer did. I'm going to add this to my rotation, thrilled to find a healthy dish that's easy to make with a weirdly wonderful mix of flavors. Thumbs up to the idea of doubling for lunch leftovers.

Great. Great for kids. Great for a quick dinners. Great for everybody eats my clean. I of the temp on the potatoes and I also tossed the celery and pears with a little bit of the ponzu dressing and sesame seeds before serving. Made it go little bit faster when I was getting it for 5 mouths.

We loved this! I overcooked 1 of the sweet potatoes a bit so next time I would watch them carefully. This is a great healthy recipe that only takes a few minutes to make. Plus, most of the ingredients are things we always have around. Will definitely make again!

Delicious and super simple! It was an easy weeknight dinner that didn’t take too much time. I didn’t add any pears because there weren’t any at the grocery, but it was great nonetheless. The sauce is AMAZING! I will be making this again for sure, perhaps throw it on top of some Tuscan kale.
