• Ingredients
• Potatoes, 4-5 large
• Salt and pepper, or just seasoning salt
• Tartar sauce, 3-4 Tbsp.
• Olive oil
• Broccoli, one small head, cut into florets
• Salmon pieces, about 2-1/2 cups (or lightly smoked salmon)
• Roma tomatoes, about 3 of them, chopped
• Chives, dried or fresh, about 1 tsp. dried
• Salt and pepper
• Juice of 1/2 lemon

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare a shallow baking dish with non-stick spray. [I use a 9″ ceramic pie pan.]

Boil potatoes until soft. Strain potatoes and season with salt and pepper (or seasoning salt). Mash the potatoes. Stir tartar sauce into the mashed potatoes. Stir about 1/2 Tbsp. olive oil into mashed potatoes. Spoon the mashed potatoes into the prepared baking dish and tamp it into the bottom and sides with a spoon or rubber scraper. Drizzle with olive oil. Bake at 400 degrees F for 20-30 minutes, until golden.

Steam or broil or otherwise cook broccoli. Set aside.

Stir together salmon, tomatoes, chives, salt and pepper, and lemon juice. Set aside.

Remove potatoes from oven and arrange broccoli over the top. Scoop the salmon mixture over the top of the broccoli. Bake an additional 15-30 minutes at 400 degrees F, until fish is cooked.

*Lightly Smoked Salmon . . . Spread one salmon filet with Dijon mustard and then sprinkle with salt and pepper (heavy on the pepper). Smoke at 225 degrees F for 1-1/2 hours. Good to go.

NOTES: This recipe started from Jamie Oliver. I have SO MUCH salmon. I had lightly smoked a salmon filet, but then realized I wasn’t having a dinner party so what would I do with it all. Improvise! I couldn’t really figure out where Jamie Oliver was headed just by reading the recipe, but once I started making this, I was like, “Oh, I get it!” So, that time I used smoked salmon instead of regular. It was already “cooked” instead of raw. I didn’t use any prawns because, well, I have SO MUCH salmon. I get salmon from my friend Sandy, and she had sent me a couple frozen bricks of boneless salmon meat. Another time, I used nearly the whole brick making this. It’s perfect! I didn’t have cherry tomatoes, so I used Romas instead. And on and on it goes. Mixing tartar sauce with mashed potatoes was the real mind-blower, but it’s great! I cannot overstate how flavorful this dish is, a mix of earthy and tart. Try it!
