No reviews

One of the easiest, and most rewarding, ways to cook salmon.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 1 lb small creamer potatoes
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 ½ lb salmon, preferably in one large piece (skin-on or skinless)
  • ¼ cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tbsp everything bagel seasoning

To serve:

  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges
  • sour cream or tartar sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400ºF. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Place the potatoes in a saucepan and cover with an inch of cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then turn the heat down and simmer until the potatoes are tender (test with a paring knife), about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and transfer them to the sheet pan.
  3. Use the bottom of a mug to press on the potatoes so they crack open and are about ½-inch thick. If some break apart, it’s ok! Drizzle the potatoes with the olive oil and sprinkle evenly with the salt and garlic powder.
  4. Spread the potatoes out around the perimeter of the pan so that they make a sort of frame around the open center. Place the salmon in the center of the pan and coat it evenly with the mustard and then the everything bagel seasoning.
  5. Roast until the potatoes are crisp and the fish flakes easily and is opaque in the center (test by poking it with a paring knife), about 20-25 minutes.
  6. Serve with the lemon wedges for squeezing over, and sour cream or tartar sauce.
