Instructions
- Roast the veggies: Preheat oven to 375ºF and line sheet pan with parchment paper. Spread veggies on evenly and drizzle with oil. Toss on pan to coat. Sprinkle with garlic powder (about ½ tsp) and salt; toss again and roast veggies for 20-30 minutes, until soft and slightly charred.
- Prepare the grain: Meanwhile, cook the grains according to package instructions.
- Prepare the sauce: Add tahini, milk, lemon juice, rice vinegar and salt in a small bowl; whisk vigorously until combined. Set aside.
- Make the salmon: Preheat oven for broiling (400ºF) and place oven rack about 6″ from broiler. Slice salmon fillet into four equal strips and pat dry with paper towel. Place skin side down on grease or lined baking sheet. In a small bowl combine mustard, garlic, lemon, spices then spread mixture over salmon fillets. Transfer salmon to preheated oven and broil for about 6-8 minutes, until you see the crust start to form. Check after 5 minutes to prevent over-cooking. Salmon is ready when it flakes away with a fork. Internal temperature should be 145ºF.
- Assemble: In a medium serving bowl, cooked grains, layer in roasted veggies, cooked salmon and top with lemon tahini.
