• servings: 2 servings
• total time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

2 Skin-On Salmon Fillets

¾ lb Potatoes

4 oz Grape Tomatoes

1 Zucchini

2 Scallions

1 Tbsp Weeknight Hero Spice Blend (Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Smoked Paprika & Whole Dried Parsley)

2 cloves Garlic

1½ Tbsps Golden Raisins

1 Tbsp Capers

1 Tbsp Verjus Rouge Or Red Wine Vinegar

¼ cup Mayonnaise

1½ tsps Calabrian Chile Paste

Directions

1 Prepare the ingredients Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch rounds. Small dice the zucchini. Halve the tomatoes; place in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Thinly slice the scallions, separating the white bottoms and hollow green tops. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise and as much of the chile paste as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be.

2 Roast the potatoes Line a sheet pan with foil. Transfer the potato rounds to the foil. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and half the spice blend. Toss to coat and arrange in an even layer. Roast 19 to 21 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.

3 Cook the vegetables Meanwhile, in a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the diced zucchini in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the seasoned tomatoes, chopped garlic, and sliced white bottoms of the scallions; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened. Add the verjus or vinegar (carefully, as the liquid may splatter), capers, and raisins. Cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until combined. Transfer to a bowl. Cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe out the pan.

4 Cook the fish & serve your dish Pat the fish dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. Season only on the skinless side with the remaining spice blend. In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned fish, skin side down. Cook 5 to 7 minutes, or until the skin is browned and crispy. Flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes, or until lightly browned and cooked through.* Turn off the heat. Serve the cooked fish with the roasted potatoes and cooked vegetables. Top the fish with the Calabrian mayo. Garnish with the sliced green tops of the scallions. Enjoy! *The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 145°F for fish.
