Ingredients
- 500g baby new potatoes (such as Jersey Royals)
- Small knob of butter
- 2 Tbsp chopped dill
- 4 salmon fillets (about 100g each)
- 100g of watercress
- 100ml Greek yogurt or crème fraîche
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp grainy mustard

Instructions
- Set your grill or barbecue to medium heat.

- Serve the potatoes with the salmon. Place a small handful of watercress on top then drizzle with the sauce.
