– 4 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic with skins on
– 1 kg skin-on side salmon
– Large bunch roughly chopped coriander
– 2 roughly chopped green chillies
– 1 clove chopped garlic
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– A large pinch caster sugar
– Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions
1-Start by boiling 1 kg of halved large new potatoes in lightly salted cold water for 15 minutes until they turns tender, then drain and let them cool slightly. Preheat your oven to 200ยฐC (fan 180ยฐC/gas mark 6) while you squash the potatoes with the side of a large knife. For a crispy potato recipe, place the squashed potatoes in a roasting tin along with 4 tablespoons of olive oil and 4 cloves of garlic with skins on, then roast for 35 minutes, tossing halfway through to ensure even crispiness.

Once crispy, push the potatoes to one side of the tin, place 1 kg of skin-on side salmon skin-side down, season it well, and roast for another 25 minutes until cooked through.
