MY ENGLISH FRIEND MAGGIE'S FAVORITE SIMPLE SUPPER: POACHED SALMON WITH DIJON DILL SAUCE, CUCUMBER AND DARK BREAD, NEW POTATOES WITH MINT

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Cover pot and bring water to a boil. Add a generous amount of coarse salt to the water, a few healthy pinches. Reduce heat to medium and boil covered until tender, about 12 minutes.
• Place salmon fillets in a large deep skillet or divide between 2 skillets if you do not have a pan large enough to accommodate all 8 portions. The additional portions will provide the cooked salmon for salmon cakes on another night. Pour wine and water into the pan so that just the very top of the salmon is exposed. Add a bay leaf and a bouquet of a few sprigs each fresh tarragon, dill and parsley to the pan and set it down into the liquid. Place the pan or pans over high heat and bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and cover the pan. Poach salmon for 10 minutes or, until fish is firm and opaque.
• Drain your potatoes and return them to the hot pot. Add butter to the pot and turn potatoes to coat them lightly in the butter. Sprinkle the mint and sugar over the potatoes.
• Combine sour cream with Dijon mustard and chopped herbs in a small bowl.
• Remove salmon from the cooking liquid with a thin spatula. Reserve 3 portions of the salmon and place in the refrigerator or freeze for salmon cakes meal.
• To serve, place a piece of salmon on a plate and garnish with sauce. Serve pumpernickel squares, watercress and sliced cucumber along side the fish. Add minted red potatoes to the plate and serve.

SALT AND PEPPER SALMON

Steps:

• Run your finger up and down the center of the salmon feeling for any pin bones. Remove any that you find with a needle-nosed pliers or tweezers. With a sharp knife cutting across the width of the salmon, divide it into 4 equal portions. Lightly salt the salmon and let sit a couple minutes; this will help you get crispy skin.
• Heat a 2-count, about 2 tablespoons, of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is almost smoking. Season the salmon with pepper, and rub about 1 1/2 tablespoons butter on the skin side of each fillet. Add the salmon to the pan, skin-side down. To get super crispy skin, cook the salmon almost to completion, about 6 minutes.
• Flip the salmon and cook until flesh side is nicely seared, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Transfer the salmon to a platter and serve with the Smashed Potatoes.
• Put the potatoes into a large pot, cover them with cold water, and add a large pinch of salt. If they're large, cut them in half. Bring to a boil and simmer until the potatoes are fork tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain. Stick a fork into the potatoes, 1 at a time, lift them out of the colander and peel with a paring knife. Toss the potatoes into a bowl and roughly crush them. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil with the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until the butter melts. Add the pearl onions, sugar, and lemon juice and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the lemon slices, peas, and lemon zest and continue cooking until the peas are hot. Season with salt and pepper. Dump the vegetables over the potatoes in the bowl, drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil add the parsley and dill and taste for salt and pepper. Scatter the watercress over the top, fold it in just until it wilts and call it a day.

Remove from the oven, toss the potatoes and push them off to the side of the pan. Place the broccolini in the center third of the sheet pan and the salmon on the remaining third. Drizzle the broccolini and salmon with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few turns of black pepper. Roast until the salmon is cooked through, about another 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, capers, horseradish and some black pepper with the juice of half a lemon in a medium bowl and stir. Taste and adjust as desired.
• When the salmon is cooked, squeeze the remaining lemon half over the top of everything and serve with the sauce on the side.
