  • Grease a baking dish. Cover the bottom of the baking dish with 2/3 of the potato slices, overlapping them. Make one layer over another. Salt the potatoes. Now place the salmon pieces on the potatoes. Salt the salmon. Insert the 2 cloves of garlic between the salmon slices.

  • Cover the fish with potato slices, chopped aromatic herbs, and a pinch of pepper. Drizzle with oil and pour half a glass of water into the side of the baking dish. Cook the Baked Salmon with Potatoes in the hot oven at 375°F in static mode for 25 minutes. I added fresh mint leaves at the end of cooking for a special fragrance.
