Preparation

Step 1

Place potatoes in a medium saucepan and add cold water to cover by 1-inch; season with salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes; drain and pat dry. Let cool slightly, halve potatoes and toss with oil; season with salt.

Preheat oven to 400°F. Place salmon, skin side down, on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet; rub with 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt. Roast until medium-rare (mostly opaque but still slightly translucent in the center), 10 to 15 minutes. Break up salmon into pieces, removing skin if desired.

Whisk crème fraiche and chopped herbs in a small bowl; season with salt.

Spread herbed crème fraiche on plates and top with salmon, potatoes, radishes, and tarragon and dill sprigs; drizzle with oil.
