Mustard-Broiled Salmon With New Potato Salad
- 1 1/2 pounds new potatoes
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- 3/4 cup Creme fraiche or sour cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 small fennel bulb, thinly sliced
- 4 6-ounce salmon fillets, skin removed
- 3 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
- Adjust oven rack to 6 inches below heat source; heat broiler.
- Place the potatoes in a medium pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon salt, reduce heat, and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, run under cold water to cool, then cut into quarters.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the creme fraiche or sour cream, 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir in the potatoes and fennel; set aside.
- Place the salmon on a parchment- or foil-lined baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine the mustard and the remaining lemon juice. Spread over the top of the salmon. Broil until the salmon is the same color throughout, 6 to 8 minutes, depending on the thickness. Divide the salmon and salad among individual plates and sprinkle with the dill.
- For a snappy, licoricey boost, reserve the feathery green fronds of the fennel and mix them with the dill before garnishing.
