    1 cedar plank, soaked according to package directions
    ⅓ c. plus 2 tbsp Hy-Vee Select olive oil, divided
    2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
    2 tbsp. seedless blackberry jam
    ½ tsp. Hy-Vee Dijon mustard
    ¾ tsp. Hy-Vee kosher sea salt, divided
    ¼ tsp. Hy-Vee black pepper, divided
    2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
    1 (1 pound) salmon fillet, skin on
    2 sprig(s) fresh rosemary
    2 tbsp. Hy-Vee slivered almonds, toasted
    6 c. kale leaves
    ¼ c. Hy-Vee dried cranberries
    ¼ c. Hy-Vee Select crumbled feta

    Directions

    1. Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for direct grilling over medium heat. Place plank on grill rack. Grill about 5 minutes.
    2. For vinaigrette, in a small bowl whisk together 1/3 cup olive oil, balsamic vinegar, blackberry jam, Dijon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; set aside.
    3. Thread sweet potato chunks onto skewers*; set aside.
    4. Place salmon, skin side down, on preheated plank. Brush with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Place rosemary sprigs on top of salmon. Add sweet potato skewers to grill; brush with remaining olive oil. Grill for 20 minutes or until salmon flakes easily with a fork and sweet potatoes are tender. Turn sweet potato skewers occasionally.
    5. Remove salmon from the cedar plank; discard skin. Cut salmon into 4 portions. Remove potato cubes from skewer. On each of 4 dinner plates, arrange kale, almonds, dried cranberries, feta, salmon and sweet potatoes. Serve with vinaigrette.
