Sizzling Garlic Salmon with Sheet Pan Potatoes

For this sheet pan dinner, baby potatoes, red onion, and spring onions get a head start in a hot oven, before they are joined by a side of salmon, slathered with mustard and drizzled with toasted garlic oil, which cooks alongside the vegetables for a seamless final presentation. Sommelier Erin Miller, of Charlie Palmer's Dry Creek Kitchen in Healdsburg, California, who provided the inspiration for this dish, notes that it tastes even better when served with a great wine. She recommends a glass of Hirsch Vineyards Raschen Ridge Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, noting, "The bright acidity of the Hirsch Pinot Noir is a perfect foil for the fresh, fatty fish and flavors of garlic and lemon."

  • Add 1 tablespoon mustard to vegetable mixture on baking sheet; toss to coat. Push vegetables to long edges of baking sheet. Place salmon, skin side down, lengthwise in middle of baking sheet. Spread salmon with remaining 3 tablespoons mustard; sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

  • Heat remaining 1/3 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add garlic; cook, stirring often, until garlic is fragrant and light golden brown, about 2 minutes. Pour hot oil mixture over salmon on baking sheet. Roast at 325°F until salmon flakes easily with a fork and vegetables are tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven. Transfer salmon to a platter; sprinkle with tarragon and chives. Transfer vegetables to a bowl. Serve salmon and vegetables with lemon wedges.
