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. Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into ½-inch-thick half-moons. Zest and quarter lemon (for 4, zest one lemon and quarter both). 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 out across entire sheet.) • Roast on top rack for 10 minutes (you’ll add the zucchini then).
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss zucchini with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. • Once potatoes have roasted 10 minutes, remove sheet from oven; carefully add zucchini to empty side. (For 4 servings, leave potatoes roasting and add zucchini to a second sheet; roast on middle rack.) • Return to top rack until potatoes are golden brown and zucchini is lightly browned, 12-15 minutes more.
• 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 to desired doneness, 1-2 minutes more. • Remove from pan and set aside. Wipe out pan.
• Return same pan to medium-high heat. Stir in stock concentrate, half the mustard (all for 4 servings), juice from half the lemon, and ¼ cup water (1⁄3 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). (TIP: If sauce seems too thick, add water 1 tsp at a time until it reaches a drizzling consistency.) Season with salt and pepper.
• Toss zucchini with lemon zest. • Divide salmon, potato wedges, and zucchini between plates. Drizzle sauce over salmon. Garnish with remaining chives if desired. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.

- Ease of prep: Simple and easy to prepare with minimal cleanup, though some found timing challenging with multiple components.
- Suggestions: Double the sauce for extra richness; some cook salmon in the oven instead of pan-searing for easier preparation.
- Portions: Many noted small zucchini portions that weren't adequate for multiple servings; salmon portions could be more generous.
- Timing: Potatoes often need extra roasting time beyond the recipe's suggested duration to achieve proper doneness.
Reviews from our home cooks
OMG! The Creamy Dijon Chive Sauce was AMAZING and paired perfectly with the salmon! We even dipped the wedges in the leftover sauce! One thing to note, the lemon zest was a wonderful addition to the veggie side, however, the zucchini was just ehhh when incorporated into this meal (and I really like zucchini). We would love to see another veggie in its place next round!
The lemony zucchini was so good! And it was a nice change from the usual green beans (although we love those too!) The dijon-chive pan sauce was also delicious and complimented the salmon really well. The cooking instructions for the salmon were spot-on and resulted in perfectly cooked fish.
This was my favorite Hello Fresh recipe yet. The salmon was fabulous paired with potatoes and zucchini. The creamy dijon sauce made it fantastic.
The salmon with the creamy dijon chive sauce was very yummy. A big hit for the family, even a child who does not normally love fish. Thank you :)
The salmon in a creamy Dijon & chive sauce was a great dinner. I love to eat fish for dinner twice a week if possible and this meal definitely will be a staple for future dinners.
Loved the creamy dijon chive sauce! And the salmon was good quality. I was not able to make this recipe for about 5 days after receiving it and the fish was still fresh and turned out great
The potatoes and zucchini came out perfect, and the salmon was so easy! I've never made salmon before because I was intimidated, but now I can't wait to make it again! The lemon added a nice touch to the green beans, and we sprinkled it on the zucchini as well. The Dijon Chive Sauce was really good, and my fiancé wanted to put it on everything!
We especially enjoyed the Creamy Dijon Chive Sauce for the salmon. Salmon is cooked in half the time stated. Potatoes needed to be cooked about twice as long to get brown and crispy as shown in the photo.
I absolutely love it - I just wish there was more of that Creamy Dijon Chive Sauce. The portions for the sauces/seasonings/marinades are always a bit too small for me, but everything else is portioned great. All of the flavors work very well together, and the salmon just melts in your mouth. The sauce is addicting and now I want it on everything!
The salmon was great quality and the portion was spot on. However, the dijon sauce didn't pair well initially. I was informed it was better the second day, but I haven't had it yet. The zucchini was great and the lemon zest was a nice touch. The potato wedges didn't seem to fit. Maybe a mashed potato or rice would have paired better.
