Ingredients 1 ½ pounds waxy potatoes Coarse salt and ground pepper 1 ½ 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 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. Meanwhile, thread 3 pieces salmon onto each of eight 6-inch 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. Broil salmon until opaque throughout, about 6 minutes, flipping once. Remove from oven and drizzle with honey. 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. Cook's Notes While the potatoes are still hot, use a spoon to crush them. The exposed surface area will soak up the butter and seasonings. Rate it Print
