This salmon and potatoes is a flavorful one-dish meal that is quite easy to make. Great for any weeknight or weekend dinner. The roasted potatoes are tender on the inside with a nice crunch on the outside. The curry dry rub makes this fish tasty – the curry flavor is not overpowering. The salmon is also moist.
I hope you will enjoy this meal as much as my family did. I welcome your comments, feedback, and questions.

Recipe Notes
I use Wild Pacific Salmon. It's thick and buttery. I usually cook 4 to 5 minutes per 1/2 inch thickness. If you are using a different type of salmon - cook based on the thickness.
