Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Place sweet potato, cut side down, on a lightly oiled baking sheet and bake until soft, about 25 minutes.

Place salmon in skillet and brown for about 4 minutes on each side, or until just opaque throughout. In a second skillet or wok, heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add bok choy and toss to coat; cover and cook over medium heat until bright green, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with balsamic vinegar.
