The Ingredients (yield 2 servings)

• About 1 lb of salmon filet
• 1 Roma tomato
• 1/2 cup of roasted pepper
• 1 lemon
• 1 Tbls of light mayonnaise 
• 1 Tbls of capers
• Salt 
• Pepper
• 2 tsps of Hot Sauce
• 3 large Golden potatoes

• Extra Virgin Olive Oil

The Recipe 

1. Grab a cold Michelob Ultra.  Open it and drink it while you prepare this dish.
2. Preheat oven to 375.
3. Season your salmon filet (whole) on both sides with Adobo and place it on the corner of a cookie sheet.
4. Cut your potatoes length wise about 1/8 of an inch thick and lay them down on a cookie sheet. (Use two cookie sheets for this)  You will have enough room around the salmon to put your potatoes too.
5. Brush the olive oil over all the potatoes and the salmon.
6. Sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and paprika over the potatoes.
7. Flip the potatoes and repeat steps 5 and 6 on the other side. Do not flip the salmon.  Bake it with the skin down.f
8. Put the cookie sheets in the oven for 15 minutes.
9. While the salmon and potato are baking chop the tomato and the roasted pepper and place them in a bowl.
10. Put in the capers, 1 Tbls of extra virgin olive oil, the mayonnaise, salt, about 2 tsps of hot sauce.
11. Squeeze the lemon into the bowl and mix everything well with a fork.  Let it sit there while you finish baking.  You will notice that it'll develop a nice silky red color.
12. After the 15 minutes of baking flip all the potato slices, raise the oven temperature to 415, and cook another 5 to 10 minutes watching it so that the potatoes do not burn.  The salmon will be fine.
13. Plate the potatoes in the format of a flower.
14. Cut the salmon filet in half and let the slice sit on top of the potatoes on the plate.
15. Spoon the garnish over the salmon and enjoy!

The Experience

This was extremely easy and quick to prepare!  What an awesome lunch!  It took about 10 minutes to prepare and 20 minutes to bake.  If you are working out and want a healthy lunch or dinner this can be it!  The potatoes come out perfect and the salmon is simply the best fish to bake like this.  I will be making this over, and over, and over!  The garnish was a last minute idea.  I had these ingredients in the fridge and decided to mix them up to see what would come out!  It turned a simple fish and potato dish into something a little more gourmet and tasty.  We basically devoured our food and were very satisfied!  Definitely make this dish this weekend!  GUARANTEED success with the whole family!
