Salmon and Pesto Potatoes

Just add a simple green salad for a quick and easy dinner.

Makes 4 servings

1tablespoon (15 ml) extra virgin olive oil

4Yukon Gold or other new potatoes, 4 ounces (113 g) each, well scrubbed, opposite ends trimmed flat with a knife

1-1/4 pounds (567 g) boneless, skinless salmon fillet, cut in 5-ounce (142 g) portions

1/2 teaspoon (2 ml) kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) freshly ground pepper

4

teaspoons (20 ml) Pesto, p. 30

4

fresh basil leaves

 

 

Preheat the oven to 400˚ F (204˚ C). Cut 4 pieces of aluminum foil, each 16 inches (40 cm) long.

Brush a 4 x 6-inch (10 x 15 cm) area in the centre of each rectangle with olive oil. Set aside.

Insert the slicing disc. Slice the potatoes, one at a time; remove each potato, restack and reserve separately. Blanch potatoes in boiling water for 3 – 4 minutes. Drain and let cool.

Season each salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Fan out the slices of one potato on the oiled portion of a sheet of foil. Spread one teaspoon (5 ml) of the Pesto on the fanned slices. Top with a salmon fillet. Bring the two cut sides of the foil together over the centre of the salmon, fold over 1 inch (2.5 cm), then fold over 2 more times. Fold the ends in twice, in 1/2-inch

(1.25 cm) folds, to complete the seal. Repeat until all the salmon and potatoes have been prepared and wrapped. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 minutes. While the salmon is in the oven, stack the basil leaves and roll. Slice in 1/8-inch (0.31 cm) intervals to create a chiffon- ade. The packets will be puffed; prick with the tip of a sharp knife to vent the steam, then carefully open. Serve immediately on warmed plates sprinkled with the basil chiffonade.
