Oven-Baked Salmon with Potatoes
To prepare a delicious salmon recipe with potatoes, start by washing the salmon fillet well under a stream of cold water. After rinsing it, pat it dry with a kitchen towel to remove excess water. This step is essential for achieving a beautiful, crispy crust during baking. Then, take a baking tray and line it with aluminum foil, making sure it is well covered. Grease the foil with a little olive oil to prevent the salmon from sticking.
Now, let’s season the salmon. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the fillet, making sure to evenly cover the surface. Place the salmon in the tray, ready to receive the delicious potato garnish. The potato should be well washed, so take a moment to peel it. It is not necessary to remove the skin, as it will add extra texture and nutrients. After washing it, dry it well and slice it very thinly using a mandoline or a sharp knife. It is important that the slices are uniform for even cooking.
Once you have the potato slices, gently dry them with a towel if they are wet. Then, brush the pieces of salmon with a little olive oil and add a few fresh parsley leaves over the fillet. Drizzling with a few drops of white wine will add a subtle flavor and enhance the aromas. Arrange the potato slices on top of the salmon, placing them side by side to create a delicious crust. Don’t forget to sprinkle salt and pepper over the potatoes, then brush them with a splash of olive oil and drizzle them again with wine.
Preheat the oven to a temperature of 180 degrees Celsius (355 degrees Fahrenheit) and place the tray in the preheated oven. Let the salmon bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes turn golden and crispy. During this time, the flavors will combine, and the salmon will become tender and juicy.
To complete the meal, you can serve the salmon with steamed vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower, which will add a contrast of textures and colors. These vegetables are not only healthy but also delicious alongside perfectly cooked salmon. Enjoy this simple yet elegant recipe that is sure to impress all your loved ones. Bon appétit!
