Seared Salmon and Roast Potatoes

There's not many things that make our tastebuds sing as much as the classic combo of fish and perfectly cooked potatoes. But say goodbye to the newspaper-wrapped deep-fried and soggy fish and chips from your childhood and say hello to it's more mature older sibling. Oily fish like salmon, are great to include in your diet once or twice a week. They are associated with amazing health benefits like protecting against cardiovascular disease, anti-inflammatory, improvements in memory, vision and skin health, not to mention the amazing taste and delicate flavour profile of salmon, which also includes omega-3s, protein and B vitamins. The potatoes contain Niacin, Vitamin B6 and C as well as Iron, Magnesium, and Potassium. Finally, the fennel slaw brings a freshness to the meal, balancing out the richness of the salmon and the starchy roast potatoes.
