Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. Zest and quarter lemon. Mince chives.
Toss potatoes on one side of a baking sheet with a large drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. (For 4 servings, spread potatoes out across entire sheet.)
Roast on top rack for 10 minutes (you’ll add the broccoli then).
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss broccoli with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Once potatoes have roasted 10 minutes, remove sheet from oven; add broccoli to empty side. (For 4 servings, leave potatoes roasting and add broccoli to a second sheet; roast on middle rack.)
Return to top rack until potatoes are golden brown and broccoli is lightly browned, 12-15 minutes more. Carefully toss broccoli with lemon zest.
While potatoes and broccoli roast, pat salmon* dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 TBSP butter and 1 TBSP olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add salmon, skin sides down, and cook until skin is crisp and fish is almost cooked through, 5-7 minutes. Flip and cook until cooked through, 1-2 minutes more.
Turn off heat; remove from pan and set aside. Wipe out pan.
Return same pan to medium-high heat. Add stock concentrate, half the mustard (all for 4 servings), juice from half the lemon, and ¼ cup water (⅓ cup for 4). Simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat.
Stir in sour cream, half the chives, and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until combined. (TIP: If sauce seems too thick, add more water 1 tsp at a time until it reaches a drizzling consistency.) Season with salt and pepper.
Divide salmon, potatoes, and broccoli between plates. Drizzle sauce over salmon. Garnish with remaining chives if desired. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
This meal was one of my favorites from Hello Fresh. The salmon was so moist and delicious and I loved the creamy Dijon chive sauce! The asparagus was delicious, but I would have preferred to have mashed potatoes with chives, sour cream, and cheese instead of the potato wedges.
Very good; we both really enjoyed the salmon, asparagus, and potato wedges. The dijon chive sauce was a bit rich for us; after initially really liking the first bite, we'd had enough.
This was the best salmon I've ever cooked. Everyone loved it and that sauce was so tasty we even ate it on the potato wedges!
Great fish dish. Perfect combination with the salmon and the sauce. Asparagus is simple but delicious and the wedges are great.
The method for cooking the salmon turned out well but was very smoky. Maybe cook in the oven? Also the butter burned in the pan. Sauce was delicious with salmon as well as asparagus and potatoes!
The cream sauce that goes over the salmon was delicious!!! And the asparagus was great. The spices added to these dishes make an ordinary meal extraordinary
The salmon cooking directions made for a moist delicious taste. For me, the sauce was delicious but too strong if you like the taste of salmon alone. There wasn't enough asparagus included for two good size portions. I like more veggies than the starch.
I've always been intimidated by making salmon. This was delicious and easy!
The salmon was excellent. Green beans were substituted for broccoli, which worked for me. The quantity of the potatoes was more than I expected and that was good as well.
This salmon meal was delicious and fairly simple. I will order this again. Instruction for asparagus was missing.
