RECIPE ELABORATION STEP BY STEP:

1. The first thing to do is to make a marinade. Take a bowl and add the mustard, the mayonnaise, a spoonful of honey, the juice of half a lime or lemon, and the zest of the peel and grate a cube of fresh ginger without peel. Stir. 
2. Put the loins of salmon in a baking dish and brush with the sauce.
3. Put the nuts (I like pistachios, cashews, almonds, hazelnuts, a mix or just one, whatever you like) in a mortar or blender and crush into small pieces. 
4. In another bowl put these nuts, with the corn flakes also in small pieces or oat flakes, a little salt and pepper, a dash of Aove, the pomegranate seeds or grapes in small pieces and a spoonful of honey and chopped chives or coriander to taste. Stir.
5. Put this mixture on top of the seasoned loins and bake (preheated oven) at 180º C for 7 min. It depends on the thickness of the loins, your oven, and if you like it more or less done. salmon.
6. Peel the sweet potato and make slices one centimeter thick. Place them separately in another baking dish with salt and pepper and a little Aove and bake them at the same time as the salmon. They will be ready when they are soft when pricked with a fork (about 25-30 min).

I accompany this salmon with crunchy nuts and sweet potato with a base of bulgur, quinoa or couscous, and the dish is already super complete! but even more so if you have a salad or some vegetables as well.
