World meet Ollie! Ollie is the lovely chap who finds us all our potatoes and given that his surname is Chipp we can’t help but think he is perfect for the job! Ollie treats all of his potatoes like his newborns and tells us that since it is the start of the season they have particularly delicate skins. His tip? Just be sure to keep them in the bottom of the fridge until you want to eat them and they’ll be right as rain. Enjoy!

Cooking Instructions and Tips

Prepare garlic, dill and shallot
1

Boil a large pot of water for your potatoes. Chop 3 tbsp of dill. Peel and dice the garlic. Finally, dice the shallot really finely. Chop any large potatoes in half

2

Cook the potatoes in the boiling water for around 10-15 mins or until you are able to easily slip a knife through them. At this point simply drain them and keep them to the side for later.

Mix your creme fraiche
3

LH: Mix your crème fraîche together with the zest of a quarter of the lemon and 1 tsp of lemon juice. Mix in as much of the diced shallot as you like (but keep 2 tbsp for the spinach!), the chopped dill, a sprinkle of salt and a few grinds of pepper.

Fry salmon
4

Pre-heat your grill to high and put 1 tbsp of oil in a non-stick frying pan on high heat. Season the salmon on both sides, place it skin-side down in the pan and leave it for 4 mins. Next, put the pan under the grill on the top shelf (handle outwards, with the door open).

5

After 4-5 mins under the grill, the top of the salmon will be cooked. Put the pan back on the hob on high heat for one minute (be careful of the hot handle). Add 2 tsp of butter (if you have some) and spoon it over the salmon as it melts. Squeeze over 4 tsp of lemon juice, then remove the salmon to a plate for later.

Add your spinach to the pan
6

Once your salmon is removed, put the pan back on the hob. Add 1 tbsp of oil to the pan on a medium heat along with the chopped shallot you set aside earlier, and the garlic. After one minute, add in the spinach and toss the ingredients for just under a minute. You only want to warm the spinach through rather than wilt it.

7

To serve, sprinkle a little salt and pepper on your potatoes. Top your pan-fried salmon with your crème fraîche mixture, serve the spinach on the side and tuck in.
