Instructions

1. 1.
   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until the edges are golden brown and crisp.
2. 2.
   While the potatoes bake, pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and season it with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Place the salmon skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes. Flip carefully with a spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
3. 3.
   In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with the fresh dill and a squeeze of lemon juice. Adjust the seasoning by adding a pinch of salt if necessary. This mixture should have a refreshing and tangy taste.
4. 4.
   When the potatoes are done, arrange them on a plate. Top with the cooked salmon fillet. Drizzle the dill lemon cream sauce generously over the salmon and potatoes. The contrast of the crispy potatoes and tender salmon, complemented by the creamy sauce, creates a balanced plate.
5. 5.
   For added texture and flavor, sprinkle additional dill over the top before serving. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more lemon juice. If salmon is overcooked, a small drizzle of olive oil can help restore some moisture.
