Green Goddess Broiled Salmon

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½-pounds potatoes, halved or quartered if large
  • 4 tbsp. olive oil, plus more to drizzle on asparagus
  • Fine sea salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 1 1/2-pound piece of skin-on center-cut salmon
  • 1 cup parsley leaves, packed
  • 1 cup mixed herbs, packed, such as chives, mint, dill, basil or cilantro, plus a few sprigs of dill, for garnish
  • 2 anchovy fillets
  • 1 to 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 lemon, zested and halved
  • ½ cup whole-milk yogurt
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cups asparagus, cut into 1 1/2-inch lengths
  • 4 small cucumbers, halved lengthwise and cut on the bias into 1-inch pieces
  • Dill weed or sill seed, to taste.

Instructions
 

  • Heat the broiler to high with the rack about 6 inches from the broiler.
  • On a sheet pan, lined with a silicone mat or aluminum foil, toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons oil, season with salt and pepper and spread out in an even layer.
  • Broil until crispy and brown and just getting tender, about 10 minutes, turning with a spatula halfway through.
  • Meanwhile, rub the remaining 2 tablespoons oil on both sides of the fish and season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Remove the sheet pan from the oven, move the potatoes to the edges and nestle the fish between them, skin-side up.
  • Broil until the skin is crispy, about 5 minutes.
  • Cut asparagus into the 1 ½-inch pieces, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • With a large spatula, flip the fish, add asparagus to pan, and continue to broil until the fish flakes easily but the center is still pink and glossy, around 5 minutes.
  • If the potatoes are done after cooking the fish on the first side, pull them from the oven and transfer to a large serving bowl. If not, leave them until the fish is cooked to your desired doneness.
  • While the fish cooks, combine the parsley, mixed herbs, anchovy, garlic, lemon zest, yogurt and mayonnaise in a blender and purée until thick and uniformly green.
  • Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
  • Remove the fish and potatoes from the oven.
  • Scrape the potatoes into a large bowl and toss with the asparagus and cucumbers; squeeze half the lemon over the top, season with salt and pepper and toss again.
  • Cut the remaining lemon half into 4 wedges.
  • Transfer the fish and vegetables to a platter and serve the dressing on the side; or divide the fish and vegetables among four plates and dollop with dressing.
  • Sprinkle with dill and serve with lemon wedge.
