Ingredients
- 2 lb 1 kg fresh salmon fillet, skin-on
- 2 lb 1 kg potatoes, washed but unpeeled
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup cooking cream heavy whipping cream or vegan cream
- Rosemary to taste
- 1 teaspoon salt or more to taste
- Himalayan sea salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Wash and dry the salmon fillet, place it on the baking sheet with the skin-side down.
- Cut large, washed potatoes into segments, and arrange them around the fish.
- Pour olive oil on the fish and potatoes.
- Season the potatoes with paprika, salt, and half the garlic.
- Pour half the cream on the fish to cover it with a thin layer. Season the salmon with rosemary and remaining finely chopped garlic.
- Season everything with salt and pepper.
- Cover the dish with tin foil. Bake for 20 minutes, adding more cream to the fish after 10 minutes, until the potatoes can be mostly pierced with a fork and the fish is mostly cooked.
