Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce. Peel, then cut sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Combine sweet potatoes, 1 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1-2 inches) in a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Simmer uncovered, until fork-tender, 10-12 min. Drain and return sweet potatoes to the same pot, off heat.
Meanwhile, halve Brussels sprouts (if larger, quarter them).Thinly slice chives. Whisk together Dijon and half the maple syrup (use all for 4 ppl) in a small bowl. Set aside. Open one side of the package of pecans. Using a rolling pin or heavy-bottomed pot, crush pecans in their package, until broken into small crumbs (or finely chop if you prefer).
Pat salmon dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.Coat tops of salmon with maple-Dijon mixture.Sprinkle pecans over top and press down lightly to adhere.Transfer pecan-crusted salmon to a parchment-lined baking sheet.Roast in the middle of the oven until salmon is cooked through, 8-10 min.**
