Ingredients

Mashed Potatoes

1 pound red bliss potatoes, scrubbed and roughly chopped
1 pound russet potatoes, scrubbed and roughly chopped
2 tablespoons butter
¼ cup whole milk
¼ cup buttermilk
Salt and pepper to taste

Salmon

4 salmon filets
Salt and pepper to taste

Green Beans

1 pound green beans, trimmed

Raisin Pine Nut Relish

¼ cup capers, drained
¼ cup toasted pine nuts
2 tablespoon chopped parsley
¼ cup golden raisins
½ lemon, juiced
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon honey
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon chile flakes

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

In a large stockpot, place the potatoes and a generous pinch of salt. Cover with cold water and bring to a simmer. Cook at a simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return to the pot. Add the butter, milk, buttermilk, salt and pepper. Mash until smooth.

Pat the salmon dry, season with salt and pepper and arrange on a baking sheet. Roast for 12-15 minutes, until cooked through.

Combine all of the relish ingredients in a bowl.

To serve, divide the mashed potatoes and salmon between plates. Top with broccoli and relish.
