Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 new red potatoes (about 3/4 pound), scrubbed and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 can (14 ounces) artichoke hearts in water, drained and halved
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/4 teaspoon dried)
1 teaspoon olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds skinless salmon fillet, cut crosswise into 4 pieces
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
1/2 cup packed coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

Preheat oven to 475°F. In a large roasting pan, toss together potatoes, artichokes, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Push vegetables to sides of pan.
Arrange salmon pieces in center of pan, and gently press them together to form one long piece. Coat with remaining 1/2 teaspoon oil, and sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. Roast, turning the vegetables once, until lightly browned and tender and salmon is opaque throughout, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, make sauce: Stir together mustard, vinegar, parsley, and the water; season with salt and pepper.
Gently separate salmon pieces. Serve immediately, on top of hash, spooning parsley sauce over fish.
