Seared Salmon on Potato Cake, Wilted Spinach W/ Dijon Sauce

Submitted by Vicki in CT

"Simple one skillet meal but beautiful and tasty. The Zaar powers that be made me include the ingredients for the potato pancake recipe I used. Please refer to the chef's recipe for directions or use your own potato cake recipe. Keep in mind the nutritional info will be incorrect for this reason, i.e. only used half the ingredients for the potato cakes."

This is really delicious!!! I love the salmon with the Dijon Sauce and I love the use of the blackening seasoning on the salmon. I made this as stated with the potato cake and spinach and it was wonderful. I could of done with cooking the potato cake a little more, but could tell from the taste that they were really good and it was just my fault for not cooking longer. I will be making this one again for sure. A great meal and truly company worthy with hardly any effort.
