Smoked salmon with potatoes and caramelised lemons

This is a fast and tasty mid-week meal idea from Nici Wickes where the ingredients – smoked salmon, caramelised lemon, crispy potatoes, gherkins and creamy yoghurt dressing – all tumble together!

Ingredients

2-4 roasting potatoes

2 lemons, skin on, thinly sliced

2 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

200g-300g hot-smoked salmon

2-4 gherkins, sliced

2 handfuls baby spinach

4 tablespoon plain unsweetened yoghurt

juice from 1 lemon

2 tablespoon olive oil

Method

1.Preheat oven to 220°C.

2.Scrub the potatoes and cut into quarters, lengthwise. Scatter over the lemon slices. Add a drizzle of oil and salt. Bake for 30 minutes or until they’re golden and the potatoes are cooked through.

3.In a large bowl, gently toss chunks of salmon with the gherkins, spinach and the hot potatoes and lemons.

4.Pile onto two plates and drizzle with a dressing of yoghurt, lemon juice and olive oil whisked together.

Hot-smoked salmon is used in this recipe, but why not try smoked chicken and roasted pumpkin or smoked kahawai and roasted sweet potatoes or leftover lamb and kumara instead? – And if you’re not a fan of spinach, try a mixed salad, an undressed coleslaw or steamed broccolini.
