- Step 1: Make the Potatoes
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold, salted water.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer for 15–20 minutes, until a fork pierces them easily.
- Drain well and return the potatoes to the hot pot for 1–2 minutes to allow excess steam to evaporate.
- Mash until smooth, then fold in the butter and milk until fully melted and combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and keep warm.
- Step 2: Bake the Salmon
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the baking sheet.
- Drizzle with olive oil, then season evenly with dill, garlic powder, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Step 3: Make the Gravy
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes until bubbling and golden (creating a roux).
- Gradually whisk in the vegetable broth to prevent lumps.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, dill, and thyme. Bring to a gentle simmer for 3–5 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
