Baked Salmon with Potatoes and Green Olives
- 2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 4 medium shallots, sliced (about 1 cup)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (see Notes)
- 6 boneless, skinless salmon fillets (about 5 ounces each)
- 1 1/2 cups pitted, sliced green olives (cracked green or Spanish olives both are good)
- 1 cup dry white wine (such as Chablis)
- 1 cup vegetable stock or chicken stock, preferably homemade (recipes in Chef's Appendix)
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 18 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 scallions, sliced crosswise, including part of the green (1/4 cup)
- 1/4 cup very thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
- 1/4 cup seeded and diced fresh tomatoes

- Preheat the oven to 375F.
- Rub the butter over the sides and bottom of a flameproof baking dish large enough to hold the salmon fillets in one layer.
- Sprinkle the shallots over the bottom of the dish.
- Arrange the salmon on top; add the potatoes and olives.
- Pour in the wine and broth; sprinkle the salt and pepper over all.
- Heat the dish over high heat until the liquid is not quite boiling and then place in the oven.
