Method

Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Arrange the potato slices in the tray, season and drizzle with oil. Roast for 20 minutes; toss halfway through.
Mix the crème fraîche with the dijon mustard, dill, lemon zest and seasoning. Set aside.
Remove the baking tray from the oven, then add the salmon fillets. Spoon the crème fraîche mixture evenly over each fillet, then top with the breadcrumbs.

Arrange the veg around the salmon and potatoes in the tray. Drizzle with oil and season. Roast for 12-15 minutes until the salmon is cooked, the breadcrumbs are golden and the veg are just tender. Serve with the lemon wedges.

Next time: For a more spicy kick add a generous sprinkle or two of chilli flakes to the sliced potatoes in step 1.

You could make this with frozen salmon fillets. Bake in a separate tray in case they release excess moisture.
