The star of the dish is the fingerling potatoes, cooked in a quick broth made with Better Than Bouillon Roasted Garlic. The broth gives them a rich, savory flavor that soaks into every bite. Add a little onion, butter, and pepper, and they taste like something you’d get in a restaurant.

The salmon is steamed with minimal seasoning — just salt and pepper — which keeps it tender, flaky, and incredibly juicy. Steaming is one of the easiest ways to cook salmon without overthinking it.

On the side, crisp-tender green beans balance the plate with color, crunch, and freshness.
