Ingredients

• 250g baby potatoes , thickly sliced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 leek , halved, washed and sliced
• 1 garlic clove , crushed
• 70ml double cream
• 1 tbsp capers , plus extra to serve
• 1 tbsp chives , plus extra to serve
• 2 skinless salmon fillets
• mixed rocket salad , to serve (optional)

Method

• STEP 1

  Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bring a medium pan of water to the boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 8 mins. Drain and leave to steam-dry in a colander for a few minutes. Toss the potatoes with ½ of the oil and plenty of seasoning in a baking tray. Put in the oven for 20 mins, tossing halfway through the cooking time. 

• STEP 2

  Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the leek and fry for 5 mins, or until beginning to soften. Stir through the garlic for 1 min, then add the cream, capers and 75ml hot water, then bring to the boil. Stir through the chives.

• STEP 3

  Heat the grill to high. Pour the creamy leek mixture over the potatoes, then sit the salmon fillets on top. Grill for 7-8 mins, or until just cooked through. Serve topped with extra chives and capers and a salad on the side, if you like.
