Ingredients

  • 24 oz (680g) Yukon Gold baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt, divided
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • 1 tbsp freeze-dried dill (or 3 tbsp fresh dill)
  • 1.5 lbs (680g) salmon fillet, skin-on
  • 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp mayo
  • Red pepper flakes, for serving
  • Lemon wedges, for serving
  • Extra dill and lemon, for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Toss potatoes, olive oil, and 1 tsp salt on a large sheet pan. Add water directly to the pan.

  2. 2

    Roast potatoes for 30 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes. The water will steam the potatoes while they turn golden. Some sticking is normal — just use a firm spatula to get under them and keep them moving.

  3. 3

    Move potatoes to the side of the pan. Place the salmon fillet in the center, skin side down. Season with the remaining 1/2 tsp salt.

  4. 4

    In a small bowl, mix the Dijon and mayo. Spread generously over the top of the salmon to completely cover.

  5. 5

    Bake for 6 minutes at 450°F, then switch to broil and cook 2-3 more minutes until the Dijon crust is deep golden and the salmon flakes easily.

  6. 6

    While salmon broils, mix the melted butter, grated garlic, and dill. Spoon over the hot potatoes and toss to coat.

  7. 7

    Remove from oven. Sprinkle salmon with extra dill and red pepper flakes. Squeeze lemon generously over the whole sheet pan and serve immediately.

Pro Tips

💡

Do not lift the lid or the foil during the last 10 minutes of roasting — the steam is essential for perfectly tender potatoes inside with a golden exterior.

💡

Watch the salmon carefully under the broiler. It goes from perfectly golden to overdone quickly. Pull it out the moment you see deep golden-brown coloring on the Dijon crust.

💡

This dish is best served immediately after assembling — the garlic butter-dressed potatoes are most vibrant right out of the oven.
