I actually had a craving for Salmon! Yippee! I rarely crave fish, so on the rare occasion that I do, I make sure to take advantage of it. This is so easy and with Salmon on sale (why do I always want to capitalize Salmon? Hmm.. weird) all I can say is "WAHOO!" I enjoy Salmon (I did it again!) with the caramelized topping that kind of pops like a crème brûlée when you first cut in. And my mom's favorite restaurant once offered salmon with small potatoes underneath, which I thought made a ka-pow combo. So I made my own (even better) version.

By the way, for some reason the top of my salmon looks burnt in the picture more than caramelized. I swear, it wasn't burnt. I'm happy to note that it was a very tender fillet.

Ingredients:
For potatoes:
3-4 Tablespoons olive oil
2 large potatoes, diced into 1/4 inch cubes
1 medium onion, diced
2 sprigs of rosemary (if you don't have rosemary you could use 2 cloves minced garlic and make garlic potatoes)

For Salmon:
4 Salmon fillets
1/4 cup honey
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons lemon juice


Optional:
Leafy greens to top (I used arugula, which the Brits call "rocket")

Directions:
Heat oil in a large skillet and add rosemary

When rosemary starts to sizzle, add potatoes and onion. Stir occasionally and let cook until tender, about 20-25 minutes or so. If the potatoes are starting to look dry, you might want to add a bit more oil (not to throw a wrench in the mix, but if I have to cook a lot of raw potatoes for more people, I put the diced taters in a 400F oven for 40 min)

While the potatoes are cooking, mix honey, soy sauce, balsamic, and lemon juice to make dressing for the salmon

Pour dressing over the raw salmon, just so each fillet is topped and reserve the rest for dipping

Once the potatoes are done, remove from the hot skillet onto a plate and let rest

Put hot skillet back on the stove and add salmon, marinated side down. Let cook for 2-3 minutes on high so that the top of the salmon gets caramelized. Then flip the fillets over and let the fish cook for 3 more minutes. The salmon should be slightly pink in the center.

Place salmon over the potatoes and the optional leafy greens on top of the salmon. Pour the rest of the dressing over the salmon and enjoy! You'll feel like quite the gourmet!
