Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place salmon fillets on the baking sheet, skin-side down.

Drizzle olive oil over the salmon and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, until it flakes easily with a fork.

While the salmon is baking, prepare the salad base with mixed greens, sliced avocado, and roasted sweet potatoes in a large bowl.

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Once the salmon is done, let it cool for a few minutes before flaking it into large pieces.

Add the flaked salmon to the salad bowl along with fresh dill and feta cheese.

Toss gently to combine all ingredients and drizzle with the lemon tahini vinaigrette.

Top with walnuts before serving.
