Instructions

1. 1.
   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the halved baby potatoes in a bowl with the olive oil, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Sprinkle with half of the sea salt and half of the fresh dill. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes until the edges are crispy and golden brown.
2. 2.
   While the potatoes are baking, prepare the salmon. Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel to ensure a good sear. Season both sides with the remaining sea salt. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, and place the salmon skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and the salmon easily releases from the pan.
3. 3.
   Carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the flesh turns opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the heat and sprinkle the remaining dill over the top for a fresh herbal finish.
4. 4.
   Check the potatoes after 20 minutes; they should be tender inside and crisp on the outside. If not, give them an additional 5 minutes in the oven while monitoring closely to avoid burning.
5. 5.
   Serve the salmon alongside the roasted potatoes, garnish with a sprig of dill. Enjoy the simplicity and freshness of the dish. If the potatoes seem too dry, drizzle with a touch more olive oil before serving.
