Black-Pepper Salmon With Dill Smashed Potatoes

• 1 1/2 pound small red potatoes (about 1 1/2 inches in diameter)
• 4 (6-to 7-ounce) salmon steaks (3/4 inch thick)
• 1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup chopped dill
• Accompaniment: sour cream

1. Preheat oven to 375u0b0F with rack in middle.
2. Cover potatoes with water in a medium saucepan and season well with salt. Simmer, uncovered, until just tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
3. While potatoes cook, pat salmon dry and season with a rounded 1/2 teaspoon salt (total). Put salmon in a lightly oiled 4-sided sheet pan and press pepper on top. Bake until just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
4. Drain potatoes, then transfer to a bowl and very coarsely mash. Stir in oil and dill and season with salt.
5. Serve salmon with potatoes.
