  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup olive oil

Directions
1
In a container or zip-top bag, combine the dill, garlic, vinegar, mustard and salmon. Marinate for 4-6 hours.
2
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
3
On one baking sheet, toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons oil and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Roast for 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes are crisp.
4
On a second baking sheet, toss the pearl onions with 1 tablespoon oil, balsamic and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast for 12-15 minutes, until softened.

Remove the salmon from the marinade, dry with paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium heat with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil.
