Mustard-Roasted Red Potatoes with Baked Salmon

Mustard-Roasted Red Potatoes with Baked Salmon

Serves 4–6

You'll Need
  • 1.5 lbs red potatoes, washed and cut into 1” cubes
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp grainy mustard
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp fresh ground pepper
  • 4–6 salmon filets
  • 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 2 Tbsp panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
  • 1 Tbsp chopped parsley
  • Fresh ground pepper
Prep and Cook
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Combine the potatoes, olive oil, mustard, salt and pepper in a medium mixing bowl and toss together with your hands coating the potatoes evenly.
  • Spread the potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, place the salmon filets on a second baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Combine the honey and mustard in a small mixing bowl and brush the surface of each piece of salmon with the mixture. Sprinkle each piece of fish with some panko and a bit of fresh parsley. Finish with a grind or two of fresh ground pepper.
  • After the potatoes have been baking for 15 minutes, place the salmon in the oven on a separate rack. Cook the salmon and potatoes for 10–15 minutes, until the salmon has reached desired doneness. At this point the potatoes should be crispy, golden brown and tender.

Serving Suggestions
Place the potatoes on a large platter and top with the salmon slices. Scatter green beans, sliced hard-boiled eggs and black olives around the perimeter of the platter for a deconstructed nicoise salad, served family style. Alternatively, place a small amount of potatoes on each plate. Top with salmon and serve with a side of green beans.
