Ingredients
Instructions
- Adjust oven racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce. Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Cut broccoli into bite-size florets if needed. Finely chop dill fronds.
- Toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast on top rack until lightly browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pat salmon dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Place salmon skin-side down and cook until skin is crisp, 5-7 minutes. Flip and cook until cooked through, 1-2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate to rest.
- While salmon cooks, toss broccoli on a second baking sheet with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast on middle rack until tender, 12-15 minutes.
- In the same pan used for salmon (wipe clean if needed), heat over medium heat. Stir in chicken stock concentrate, 2 tablespoons water and as much chopped dill and Dijon mustard as you like. Remove from heat; stir in sour cream and 1 tablespoon butter, scraping up any browned bits. Season with salt and pepper. If sauce is too thick, add water 1 teaspoon at a time until drizzling consistency.
- Divide salmon, roasted potatoes and broccoli between plates. Drizzle with creamy Dijon dill sauce. Garnish with remaining chopped dill if desired. Serve immediately.
Recipe Tips
For extra crispy salmon skin, pat it very dry before seasoning.
If you don’t have chicken stock concentrate, substitute with 2 tablespoons low-sodium chicken broth.
Adjust the amount of Dijon and dill to suit your taste.
