This impressive salmon dish will steal the show no matter what you serve on the side. The technique of wrapping the salmon in potato slices is not as hard as it seems! Once you’ve mastered it, double the recipe for a date night or make it for a dinner party. You can go super simple and add lightly dressed salad greens the way we did here, or roast some asparagus while you have the oven on to cook the salmon.
