Ingredients

4
  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 1.5 pounds new potatoes, halved
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (optional)

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

2

In a large bowl, toss the halved new potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

3

Spread the potatoes on a baking dish and roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

4

In a separate bowl, mix together the heavy cream, fresh dill, salt, and pepper.

5

After 20 minutes, remove the potatoes from the oven and pour the cream mixture over them, stirring gently to combine.

6

Place the salmon fillets on top of the potatoes and pour any remaining cream mixture over them.

7

Top with lemon slices and shredded cheese if desired.

8

Return to the oven and bake for another 25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.

9

Let it cool for a few minutes before serving, garnishing with extra dill if desired.

Chef's Tips

Ensure the salmon is fresh for the best flavor.
You can substitute other herbs like parsley or thyme if you prefer.
Use a meat thermometer to check the salmon reaches 145°F (63°C) for perfect doneness.

Troubleshooting

If the potatoes are still hard after 45 minutes, cover the dish with foil for the last 10 minutes to help them cook through.
If the salmon is browning too fast, loosely cover it with foil while it finishes cooking.

Recipe Variations

Add spinach or kale to the creamy mixture for added nutrition.
Try different types of fish like cod or haddock.

Healthy Alternatives

Use low-fat milk instead of heavy cream for a lighter option.
Replace salmon with trout or a plant-based protein for variety.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with a side salad for a refreshing contrast.
Pair with steamed asparagus or green beans.
