Steamed Potatoes with Fresh Dill
Steamed potatoes tossed with melted butter and chopped fresh herbs are the perfect accompaniment to Baked Salted Salmon with Dill. Any thin-skinned, lower-starch potato, such as Yukon Gold, work well in place of the red potatoes called for. The dill can be swapped for any fresh herb.
Don't use a narrow pot. If the potatoes are piled up in the steamer basket, they will cook unevenly. The wide diameter of a Dutch oven allows for distribution in a thinner layer and more even cooking.
