Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Wash and scrub the Yukon gold potatoes. Cut them into quarters and place them in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Season the Potatoes

    Drizzle 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil over the potatoes. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, then toss to coat evenly.

  3. 3

    Roast the Potatoes

    Spread the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and tender, flipping halfway through.

Grilling the Salmon

  1. 4

    Preheat the Grill

    While the potatoes are roasting, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 5

    Prepare the Salmon

    Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil over the fillets and season with salt and black pepper.

  3. 6

    Grill the Salmon

    Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Squeeze the juice of half the lemon over the fillets. Grill for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Sautéing the Spinach

  1. 7

    Sauté the Spinach

    In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and a pinch of salt. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and tender.

  2. 8

    Finish the Spinach

    Remove the skillet from heat and squeeze the remaining lemon half over the sautéed spinach. Toss to combine.

Serving

  1. 9

    Plate the Dish

    To serve, place a portion of roasted Yukon gold potatoes on each plate. Add a piece of grilled salmon and a serving of sautéed spinach. Garnish with lemon wedges if desired.
