Instructions
-
Boil the Potatoes:
- Begin by boiling the baby potatoes until they’re tender. Once done, drain them and leave them to cool for a few minutes.
-
Prepare the Salmon:
- While the potatoes are cooking, prepare your salmon fillets. Smear olive oil over one side of each fillet.
-
Create the Peppered Dill Mixture:
- Mix together the fresh ground black pepper and dried dill. Spread this mixture evenly over a plate.
-
Coat the Salmon:
- Take each oiled side of the salmon fillets and dip them into the peppered dill mixture, ensuring they’re well coated.
-
Bake the Salmon:
- Place the salmon fillets, herb side up, on a baking tray. Bake them in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for approximately 20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
-
Prepare the Yogurt Dressing:
- While the salmon is baking, prepare the yogurt dressing. In a bowl, combine the plain yogurt with minced garlic. Set aside for serving.
-
Assemble the Dish:
- Once the salmon is beautifully cooked, it’s time to plate up!
- On each serving plate, place a generous bed of fresh arugula (rocket) in the center.
- Carefully place a salmon fillet on top of the bed of arugula.
-
Dress the Potatoes:
- Coat the boiled baby potatoes with the prepared yogurt dressing. Arrange them around the salmon fillets on the plates.
-
Garnish and Serve:
- For a zesty finish, serve each dish with a wedge of lemon on the side.
-
Variation: Layered Presentation
- If you prefer a more artistic presentation, try a layered effect!
- Start with a base layer of the yogurt-dressed baby potatoes.
- Follow this with a layer of fresh arugula (rocket).
- Finally, top it all off with the beautifully baked peppered salmon fillets.
