Salmon Skewers with Smashed Potatoes

Source: Everyday Food Magazine

Serves: 4

Total Time: 30 minutes after water started boiling

Ingredients:

1.5 pounds waxy potatoes
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 to 1 1/2 pounds skinless salmon fillet, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons honey
3 cups baby spinach (2 ounces)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions:
1. Heat broiler, with rack in top position. In a medium saucepan, bring potatoes to a boil in salted water and cook until tender when pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, thread pieces of salmon onto wooden skewers. Place skewers in a single layer on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Brush salmon with oil and season with salt and pepper. Fold foil over exposed areas of skewers to prevent burning or soak skewers in water before using.

3. Broil salmon until opaque throughout, about 6 minutes, flipping once. Remove from oven and drizzle with honey.

4. Drain potatoes. While still hot, gently smash each potato with the back of a spoon to flatten slightly and place, along with spinach and butter, in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. Serve salmon skewers with potatoes and spinach.

Verdict: This was delicious, fast, and seriously easy. Be sure to have your fish guy take the skin off the salmon. Allison did put a bite of salmon in her mouth but promptly spit it out. Although, she was sick all weekend, so she wasn't eating much anyway. I'll definitely make this again and update her verdict then. But we loved it. YUM!
