Make

Heat oven to 500F / 260C.
Spread potatoes on a sheet pan and cover tightly with foil. Transfer to the oven and bake for 10 minutes to get them started cooking. (Watch this video on roasting at high heat.)
Remove potatoes from oven and reduce oven temperature to 425F / 218C.
Remove foil from potatoes and toss potatoes with olive oil and oregano (portions for potatoes). Season with some salt and pepper. Return to oven and continue roasting until nearly tender, ~20 minutes more.
When potatoes are nearly tender, remove pan from oven and spread potatoes out to the sides. Place salmon in the center. Drizzle olive oil (portion for salmon) over salmon and top with spice blend.
Return pan to the oven and continue cooking salmon and potatoes together until salmon flakes easily with a fork, ~12 minutes more.
Toss kale and sunflower seeds with vinaigrette.
Squeeze lemon juice over salmon and serve with Greek salsa on top. Enjoy potatoes and salad on the side.
