1

Fill a medium pot halfway with cold water, add salt, cover, and set it over high heat.

2

While the water is still cold, peel the potatoes, cut them into 1.5-inch chunks, drop them into the pot, and re-cover.

3

Trim the stem ends from the green beans, leaving the tender tails on.

4

Thinly slice the garlic and finely chop the dill, keeping them in separate piles on the board.

5

Finely zest the lemon into its own small pile, then halve the lemon and cut one half into 2 wedges.

6

Once the potato water reaches a rolling boil, lower to a steady simmer and cook 15 to 18 minutes until a knife slides through with no resistance.

7

Set a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat with a little olive oil for 2 minutes until the oil shimmers.

8

Add the green beans with salt and cook 5 minutes, tossing occasionally, until blistered in spots and just tender.

9

While the beans cook, pat the salmon dry with paper towels and season the flesh side with salt and pepper.

10

Stir the sliced garlic and a splash of water into the beans and cook 1 minute until fragrant and pale gold, then divide between two plates.

11

Swirl the remaining oil into the skillet and lay the salmon in skin-side down, pressing each fillet flat for 10 seconds.

12

Sear undisturbed 5 to 6 minutes until the skin is crisp and crackly and the flesh turns opaque two-thirds up the sides.

13

Flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes until the thickest part just flakes, then set the salmon skin-side up beside the beans.

14

Drain the fork-tender potatoes in a colander and return them to the warm pot off the heat.

15

Mash the potatoes with most of the butter, the yogurt, milk, salt, lemon zest, and half the dill until smooth and fluffy.

16

Set the skillet over low heat, add the remaining butter, squeeze in the juice from the plain lemon half, and swirl 30 seconds until foamy.

17

Spoon the mash beside the salmon, drizzle the lemon butter over the fillets, and scatter the remaining dill, with lemon wedges on the side.
