Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Boil fingerling potatoes in salted water for about 10 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. Season salmon fillets with kosher salt and black pepper. Arrange skin-side down on a lined baking sheet.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine shallots, garlic, fennel, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Drizzle olive oil and mix well. Spread over salmon.
  4. Roast salmon for 15-17 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 125°F and is flaky. Rest for 5 minutes.
  5. Toss boiled potatoes with reserved fennel mixture and olive oil. Roast on a separate sheet for 25 minutes until golden.
  6. In a food processor, combine olives, capers, lemon juice, orange juice, vinegar, thyme, dill, and parsley. Pulse until chunky.
  7. Serve salmon topped with olive relish alongside roasted potatoes.
