Make

  1. Heat oven to 500F (260C) degrees. Spread potatoes out into one even layer on a sheet pan. Cover tightly with foil and ‘steam’ for 10 minutes.
  2. After potatoes have steamed for ~10 minutes, remove foil and toss potatoes with oregano and cooking oil. Return to oven and roast for another 10 to 12 minutes, until golden and crispy on the outside. Salt and pepper right out of the oven.
  3. While potatoes finish roasting, heat a non-stick pan (use one with a lid) over medium-high heat. Add salmon (keep the marinade) presentation side down (that’s the non-skin side) to heated pan. Sear for ~3 minutes and then flip.
  4. Pour in leftover marinade with ¼ cup (59 ml) of water. Lower heat, cover with lid, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until salmon is done to your liking.
  5. Enjoy salmon and potatoes with yogurt sauce (remember to save half for Wednesday).
