Ingredients

Servings: 4
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 1 kg waxy potatoes
  • 50 g Butter
  • 50 g Flour
  • 350 ml Milk
  • 1 Organic Lemon
  • 7-10 Tbsp Pepper
  • 1 collar curly parsley
  • 4 Salmon fillets with skin (approx. 150 g each)
  • 2 TABLESPOONS Olive oil
  • 7-10 Tbsp Sea salt flakes

Directions

  1. 1

    Bring 2 l salted water to the boil. Peel potatoes with a potato peeler, wash and cut into quarters or halves depending on size. Cover and cook in boiling water for about 25 minutes.

  2. 2

    For the sauce, melt butter in a pot at low heat (but do not brown!). Add the flour completely and sweat with a whisk while stirring for about 1 minute (must not get dark).

  3. 3

    Add the milk little by little. Bring the sauce to the boil while stirring, simmer for about 5 minutes and remove from the heat. Roll the lemon, cut it in half, squeeze one half and stir 1-2 tsp. into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Wash parsley, shake dry, pluck off leaves, chop finely and stir into the sauce. Keep the sauce warm in the pot.

  5. 5

    Rinse the salmon, dab dry with kitchen paper. Sprinkle the juice of the other half of the lemon over the salmon. Heat the oil in a large coated pan. Sauté the fish in it for about 3 minutes until crispy on the skin side.

  6. 6

    Season with sea salt and pepper. Turn with a wooden spoon and a spatula, fry again for 3-5 minutes and season.

  7. 7

    Drain the potatoes. Warm up the sauce again briefly and serve with salmon and potatoes.
