Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Total time: 40 minutes
Servings: 2

Ingredients for salmon:
- 1 piece of salmon (approximately 300-400 g)
- A pinch of salt
- A pinch of pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon of fish seasoning (or your favorite herbs)
- 50 ml of white wine (a dry wine is recommended to enhance the flavors)
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil

Ingredients for the potato side:
- 3 medium potatoes (preferably new potatoes for a finer texture)
- 1/2 teaspoon of rosemary (fresh or dried)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 50 ml of water

Preparing the salmon:
1. Start by preparing the spice mix. In a small bowl, mix the salt, pepper, and fish seasoning. This is the perfect time to add any spices you like, such as marjoram or oregano, to enhance the flavor.
2. Take the piece of salmon and rub it well with the spice mix, ensuring that every side is well coated. Cover the salmon with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours. This step will allow the fish to absorb the flavors, making it even tastier.

Preparing the potato side:
1. Peel the potatoes and wash them well under running water. Cut them into thick slices, about 1-1.5 cm, to ensure even cooking.
2. In a baking dish, add the sliced potatoes, drizzle with olive oil, add the rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well so that each potato slice is coated with the spices.
3. Pour water into the dish, cover it with aluminum foil or a lid, and place it in the preheated oven at 200°C. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and let the potatoes brown for another 10 minutes until they are golden and crispy.

Cooking the salmon:
1. In a non-stick skillet, add 50 ml of white wine and place the salmon. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until the fish cooks evenly.
2. After this time, add the olive oil to the skillet, remove the lid, and let the salmon brown on each side for another 2-3 minutes. This step will add a delicious crust to the surface of the fish.

Serving:
Once the salmon and potatoes are ready, place a generous portion of browned potatoes on a plate, and top with the salmon. You can garnish the dish with a few sprigs of fresh rosemary or a slice of lemon for an extra touch of freshness. A glass of white wine will perfectly complement this meal.

Useful tips:
- Make sure the salmon is fresh and of high quality; this will make a difference in the taste of the dish.
- If you want to experiment, try adding other vegetables alongside the potatoes, such as carrots or zucchini, for a more colorful and nutritious side.
- You can also use other types of white fish, such as trout fillets or tilapia, to vary the recipe.

Nutritional information:
This dish is rich in protein due to the salmon, which is also an excellent source of Omega-3 fatty acids, beneficial for heart health. Potatoes are a good source of carbohydrates and vitamins, while rosemary not only adds flavor but also has antioxidant properties.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use frozen salmon? Yes, but make sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
- How can I make the salmon spicier? You can add chili flakes or hot pepper sauce to the spice mix.
- What other sides pair well with salmon? Fresh green salads or grilled vegetables are excellent choices.
