  1. 1

    Roast the Potato Wedges

    Cut potatoes into 1/2"-thick wedges and pat dry.

    Stem and mince dill.

    Place potatoes on prepared baking sheet and toss with 2 tsp. olive oil, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Spread into a single layer.

    Roast in hot oven until lightly browned and tender, 25-30 minutes, flipping once halfway through.

    Carefully remove from oven. Toss with 1 tsp. dill and cheese. Sheet will be hot! Use a utensil.

    While potato wedges roast, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Cook the Salmon

    Pat salmon dry and season flesh side with a pinch of salt and pepper.

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add salmon, skin-side up, to hot pan and sear until golden-brown and salmon reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 3-4 minutes per side.

    Remove from burner. Transfer to a plate and let cool, 5 minutes.

    Wipe pan clean and reserve.

  3. 3

    Form the Salmon Cakes

    Once cool enough to handle, transfer salmon to a mixing bowl. Discard skin. Shred into small pieces.

    Add panko, Chesapeake seasoning, 1/4 tsp. salt, and mayonnaise to bowl with shredded salmon and mash to combine. Stir until slightly sticky.

    Form mixture into four equally-sized cakes, about 3" in diameter, pressing firmly to compact.

    Chill in freezer until firm, 10-12 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cook the Salmon Cakes

    Return pan used to cook salmon to medium-high heat and add 1 Tbsp. olive oil.

    Working in batches if necessary, add salmon cakes to hot pan and cook undisturbed until browned, 2-3 minutes per side, flipping gently to keep cakes intact.

    Reserve plate and set aside. Remove from burner. Transfer cakes to reserved plate.

  5. 5

    Make Crema and Finish Dish

    Halve lemon lengthwise. Cut one half into wedges and juice the other half.

    In another mixing bowl, combine 1 tsp. lemon juice and creme fraiche. If too thick, add water, 1 tsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Set aside.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, drizzling crema over salmon cakes. Squeeze lemon wedges over dish to taste. Bon appétit!
