Ingredients:

  • 1 pound baby potatoes, sliced in medallions

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

  • salt and pepper

  • 2 pounds Norwegian salmon (sliced into 8 oz portions)

  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika

  • 2 teaspoons cumin

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • juice of 1-2 lemons

  • 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes

  • 8 ounce block of feta cheese, cubed

  • Greek Goddess Sauce:

  • 1 avocado, halved

  • 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt

  • 1 cup fresh cilantro

  • 1/2 cup fresh dill

  • 1 jalapeño, halved and seeded

  • juice from 1 lemon

  • 1 teaspoon cumin

  • salt and pepper

 

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 425
On rimmed baking sheet, toss potatoes with olive oil, salt and pepper and roast for about 15 minutes

Place the salmon on a plate or cutting board and drizzle with maple syrup. Add the smoked paprika, cumin, garlic, lemon juice and crushed red pepper. Drizzle some olive oil over the top and rub the seasonings all over the salmon - don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty! Cut the salmon into 4 even portions at this time if necessary

Remove potatoes from oven and push them to one side of the pan. Place the salmon portions on the opposite side of the pan and return it to the oven to roast for another 10-20 minutes or until salmon is cooked to your liking.

While that roasts, make the goddess sauce by adding all of the sauce ingredients to a high speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Add a tablespoon of water at a time to thin the sauce as needed.

Remove baking sheet from oven and to plate, spread the Goddess sauce on plates, then top with the potatoes, feta cubes and salmon. Garnish with lemon and fresh dill. Enjoy!
