Ingredients
- 800 g new potatoes (Grenaille), washed and quartered
- 3 leeks, white part only, cut into 3 cm chunks
- 250 ml cream (15% or 20%)
- 2 tablespoons mustard (whole grain Dijon)
- 50 g grated Emmental cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 500 g fresh salmon, skin removed and cut into fillets
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 25 g butter, divided into small pieces
- Fresh dill, for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and leeks. Blanch them for about 10 minutes, then drain and set aside.
Step 2: Make the Cream Sauce
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream, mustard, grated Emmental, minced garlic, and thyme. This creamy mustard sauce will bring all the ingredients together with a rich flavor.
Step 3: Assemble the Dish
- Grease a large baking dish with a small portion of butter. Place the potatoes and leeks evenly in the dish. Pour the mustard cream sauce over the vegetables, ensuring everything is well-coated.
Step 4: Add the Salmon and Bake
- Place the salmon fillets on top of the vegetables and sauce. Scatter the capers and dot the remaining butter over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes with fan-forced heat, then switch to grill mode for an additional 5 minutes to get a nice golden crust.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
- Once out of the oven, garnish the dish with fresh dill sprigs for a vibrant and fresh finish. Serve hot and enjoy!

- Use fresh salmon for the best flavor and texture.
- If you can’t find new potatoes, you can substitute them with any firm variety, like Yukon Gold.
- For a richer flavor, substitute the Emmental with Gruyère or cheddar.
- Ensure you don’t overcook the salmon; it should remain tender and juicy.
