Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound potatoes cut into 1/2-inch chunks
  • 6 tablespoons salted butter
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons grainy Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 small shallot chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped thyme
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 pounds or 4 fillets wild-caught salmon
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 1 clove garlic chopped
  • 2 –3 cups arugula or shaved asparagus
  • ¼ cup fresh chopped dill

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Toss the potatoes with 3 tablespoons of melted butter, salt, and pepper. Spread them on one half of the sheet pan. Roast for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the grainy mustard, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, shallot, thyme, cayenne pepper, and remaining 3 tablespoons of butter.
  • Place the salmon fillets on the other half of the sheet pan. Spread the mustard mixture over the salmon.
  • In a separate bowl, combine panko, sesame seeds, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Press the mixture over the top of each salmon fillet.
  • Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the potatoes are golden.
  • Serve hot, topped with arugula or shaved asparagus and fresh dill.

Notes
