Baked Salmon with Dill Potatoes

If you like salmon, you’ll love this Scandinavian dinner — 45 minutes from craving to table. It is weeknight cooking that still hits your targets — 43 grams of protein per serving. Simple enough for a Tuesday, good enough to serve to guests — that is the whole idea.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Salmon
• 1.5 lb New potatoes
• 1/2 cup Dill
• 4 tbsp Butter
• 1/2 cup Sour cream
• 1 Lemon
• 2 tbsp Capers

Steps

1. Boil the potatoes until just tender; crush lightly and toss with melted butter and half the dill.
2. Roast the salmon at 425°F for 12–14 minutes until it flakes at the thickest point but stays rosy inside.
3. Stir the remaining dill and lemon zest into the sour cream for a quick cold sauce.
4. Plate the salmon over the dill potatoes with the sauce and capers; weeknight Nordic luxury.
5. Leftover salmon flakes beautifully into a salad the next day — cook extra deliberately.
