Instructions

1. Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425°F. Wash and dry produce. Cut potatoes into ¼-inch-thick rounds. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. Halve, peel, and mince shallot. Pick and finely chop fronds from dill. Zest and quarter lemon.
2. In a large bowl, toss potatoes with 2 TBSP oil (4 TBSP for 4 servings), garlic, and a couple big pinches of salt and pepper until thoroughly coated. Arrange potatoes on one side of a baking sheet in a single overlapping layer (for 4, layer potatoes across entire sheet). TIP: Be sure to shingle the potatoes in a single layer so they cook evenly. Roast on top rack for 10 minutes (you’ll add the broccoli then).
3. Once potatoes have roasted 10 minutes, remove sheet from oven. Carefully add broccoli to empty side; toss with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. (For 4 servings, leave potatoes roasting; add broccoli to a second baking sheet and roast on middle rack.) Return sheet to oven until broccoli and potatoes are browned and tender, 15-18 minutes more.
4. While broccoli and potatoes roast, pat salmon dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add salmon, skin sides down, to pan. Cook until skin is crispy, 5-7 minutes. Flip salmon; continue cooking until opaque and cooked through, 1-2 minutes more. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.
5. Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add shallot; cook, stirring, until slightly softened, 2-3 minutes. Stir in mustard, stock concentrate, honey, and ¼ cup water (⅓ cup water for 4 servings). Simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat. Stir in sour cream, half the chopped dill, juice from one lemon wedge, and 1 TBSP butter until melted and combined. (For 4, use all the chopped dill, juice from two lemon wedges, and 2 TBSP butter.) Season with salt and pepper.
6. Carefully toss broccoli with a pinch of lemon zest to taste. Divide potatoes, broccoli, and salmon between plates. Spoon half the sauce over salmon. Serve with remaining sauce and remaining lemon wedges on the side.

Recipe Tips

FAQ

Can I use salmon instead of rainbow trout?

Yes, salmon works perfectly in this recipe. Adjust cooking time as needed based on thickness.

How do I reheat leftovers?

Reheat the potatoes and broccoli in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes. Reheat the trout gently in a skillet over low heat to avoid drying it out.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Substitute the butter with a dairy-free alternative and use a dairy-free sour cream or omit it. The sauce will still be delicious.
