Crispy Potato-Crusted Salmon
This potato-crusted salmon is a cozy oven-baked dinner where thin slices of potato turn golden and crisp right on top of the fish. The salmon cooks underneath, staying tender and flaky while the potatoes roast into a lightly crispy layer. A little olive oil, garlic, and simple seasoning bring everything together.

Place a sheet of parchment paper on a baking tray.
Step 3
Wash the 2 potatoes and slice them into very thin round slices.

Step 7

Step 8
Lay the potato slices on top of each salmon fillet, slightly overlapping them like small scales.

Press the potatoes down gently so they stick to the fish.
Step 10
Place the tray in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes until the salmon is cooked and the potatoes turn golden.
