🥄 Texture

Tender, flaky salmon contrasts with small potato cubes that are golden on the outside and soft inside. A creamy, slightly thick coating from the crème fraîche ties the components together without making the dish heavy.

👃 Aroma

Warm, toasty potato notes and the savory, slightly oily aroma of cooked salmon are prominent, brightened by fresh parsley. A mild tang from the crème fraîche adds a light dairy fragrance that lifts the overall scent.

🍷 Pairs Well With

A crisp Sauvignon Blanc or an unoaked Chardonnay complements the richness and herbal notes; alternatively a light-bodied Pinot Noir or a dry sparkling wine works well.

🥗 Side Dishes

A simple lemon-dressed green salad, steamed or roasted asparagus, or buttered green beans; crusty bread or a light pilaf are also good for soaking up the creamy sauce.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut potatoes into small cubes and place them in a large pan with 2 tablespoons of oil. Cook over medium heat for 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender.

  2. 2

    Push the potatoes to the sides of the pan. Place salmon portions in the center and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes on each side until salmon is cooked through.

  3. 3

    Pour crème fraîche over the salmon and potatoes. Stir gently to combine, making sure not to break apart the fish.

  4. 4

    Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to warm through and coat everything evenly.

  5. 5

    Remove from heat, sprinkle fresh parsley on top, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve immediately from the pan.
