I anticipated the Jersey Royal New Potato season so much this year that I prepared a mint butter a month ago and stashed it in my freezer. I also wanted to use some sumac which has been hiding in a box in the cupboard.

Steps

15 minutes

1

Grate the cucumber coarsely into a sieve and sprinkle with a little salt. Set aside over a bowl.
2

Meanwhile, wash the Jersey Royals in a colander under a tap, scrubbing off any loose bits of skin, if necessary.
3

Put potatoes in a pan, fill with cold water and put on a hot hob to boil. Once boiling, turn down heat and simmer for 12-15 minutes until soft.
4

Heat a griddle. Oil and salt the salmon fillets.
5

Put the drained cucumber into a small bowl and add the yogurt, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper and mix well.
6

Place the salmon skin side down on the medium hot skillet. Cook for 3-6 minutes depending on thickness.
7

Turn salmon over carefully and cook until done to your preference.
8

Drain the new potatoes and put them back in the pan along with the mint butter and a pinch of salt. Allow the butter to melt and swirl the potatoes around a few times to get them coated in the minted butter.
9

Serve the salmon and New potatoes with the tzatziki on the side. Sprinkle over a good pinch of sumac, particularly on the tzatziki and salmon.

Tips

Make minted butter for new potatoes

Soften 125-175g of unsalted butter. Chop 30g fresh mint leaves and mix them into the butter. Lay out a piece of cling film and place the butter in the middle. Wrap up the butter, forming a sausage shape, and twisting the ends of the cling film like a sweetie wrapper. Roll back and forwards a few times with your fingers still holding the twists. Wrap in foil and put into the freezer for up to a month. When cooking new potatoes, cut off slices of minted butter to serve melted over them.
