Tips:
1. Use fresh and high-quality salmon: Choose wild-caught salmon for the best flavor and texture.
2. Don’t overcook the salmon: Cook the salmon until it’s just cooked through to prevent dryness and toughness.
3. Add some brightness with lemon juice: Use fresh lemon juice to add a bright and citrusy flavor to the salmon and potatoes.
4. Experiment with different types of potatoes: Try using different types of potatoes, such as Yukon gold or sweet potatoes, for a unique flavor and texture.
5. Make it a meal: Serve the salmon with crispy potatoes and steamed broccoli for a filling and satisfying meal.
