Method

step 1

Put the new potatoes into a large pan of lightly salted cold water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Drain really well and allow to cool slightly.
step 2

Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Use the side of a large knife to squash the new potatoes on a chopping board, then put into a large roasting tin. Drizzle over the oil, add the garlic cloves and toss really well. Put into the oven for 35 minutes, tossing halfway, until beginning to crisp.
step 3

Push the potatoes to the side and add the salmon skin-side down to the tin. Season the salmon well then put back in the oven for 25 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through.
step 4

For the zhoug, put all of the ingredients into a food processor and whizz until smooth.
step 5

Transfer the crispy spuds to a serving platter, then carefully put the salmon side on top. Spoon over some of the zhoug, to serve.
