Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and let them sit at room temperature.
  2. Place halved potatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, toss, and roast for 40 minutes.
  3. Make the aioli by smashing garlic with salt, then mixing with egg yolks and lemon juice in a food processor. Drizzle in olive oil until thickened.
  4. Prepare the salad by shaving fennel, adding scallions, lemon zest, and juice, then tossing well and letting sit for 5 minutes.
  5. Heat olive oil in a skillet. Season salmon and sear skin-side down for 5 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  6. Combine arugula, microgreens, and parsley with the fennel salad. Serve salmon alongside potatoes and salads, with aioli for drizzling.
