Salmon with Punched Potatoes and Lemon Oil
Posted on July 23, 2010 | 2 CommentsTweetSimple and delicious are the first two words that spring to mind with this recipe. Simple, it didn’t stretch my ability or patience levels in any way.

Try it.

It’s also a great way to vent your day’s anger as you literally do “punch” the potatoes. Not hard enough for my liking. We had it with some chicken and chorizo. Another triumph!
