How to cook deliciously - Seared Salmon with Potato Pancakes and Yogurt Sauce

1. Stage

Fit food processor with shredding blade, then shred potatoes and onion. Transfer to a colander lined with cheese cloth or a clean kitchen towel. Season potato mixture with salt and set aside.

2. Stage

Meanwhile, season salmon with salt and pepper and set aside. Zest 1 teaspoon lemon, then cut lemon in half and add 1 tablespoon juice to a mixing bowl. Cut remaining lemon into slices and set aside. Add yogurt, Dijon and salt to the bowl and mix. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

3. Stage

Place sheet pan in oven and preheat to 250°. Wrap potato mixture in cloth and squeeze to remove excess moisture. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat; add butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add 1/4 of potato mixture and spread into a thin even layer. Cook until golden brown, 5 minutes, then flip and cook 1 minute more. Transfer pancake to the sheet pan and return to oven to keep warm. Repeat steps for remaining 3 pancakes, adding additional butter and olive oil as needed.

4. Stage

Heat cast iron skillet over high heat; add remaining tablespoon olive oil to pan. When pan is almost smoking, add salmon skin side up. Sear on each side for 4 minutes. Serve salmon over potato pancake and top with yogurt sauce, a sprinkle of sea salt and chives.
