Instructions
Prepare the potatoes
Preheat oven to 375º.
Pour 2 Tablespoons of olive oil on a large sheet pan. Use a basting brush to spread the oil all over the pan. Place the pan in the oven and allow to heat the oil.
Meanwhile, wash the red potatoes. Cut each potato in half and place in a bowl.
Add 2 Tablespoons of the Lowe's Foods Mediterranean Dip Mix to the potatoes, along with one Tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of Sea Salt with a few turns of a black pepper grinder.
Using two spoons, thoroughly mix the potatoes, making sure to coat each with the dip mix and oil.
Once the sheet pan is hot, remove from the oven. (The oil might be smoking).
Carefully, place the potatoes, one at a time, on the sheet pan. Making sure the cut side of the potato is touching the hot oil. You will hear it sizzle.
Place back in the oven on low/middle rack.
Prepare the salmon
On a new large sheet pan, cover it with aluminum foil. Place a second sheet of foil vertically across the pan so it lays over the edges enough, so you will be able to wrap the salmon in a pouch.
Place salmon in center of foil.
Sprinkle with garlic salt and a few turns of a black pepper grinder.
Sprinkle with 2 - 3 Tablespoons of Lowe's Foods Mediterranean Dip Mix.
Pour any remaining oil from your potatoes onto the salmon and spread with a basting brush.
Wrap salmon. Fold sides of foil so as to form a packet that you can seal.
Place salmon in oven on middle rack, above the potatoes and turn up heat to 400º.
Set timer for 15 minutes for sides of salmon (thicker), or 12 minutes for fillets.
Prepare the cheese sauce
Place 8 oz of cream cheese in a small saucepan and adjust heat to medium/low.
Add milk and melt cheese until blended.
Once the cheese has completely melted, add honey, mustard and garlic. Whisk until all of the honey until it has completely melted.
Turn heat as low as it will go and allow the sauce to stay warm.
Check potatoes. Test by sticking a potato with a fork. If it goes in easily, they are done. Remove from oven.
Salmon must be cooked to 145º. Once it reaches 140º, open pouch, exposing fish. Place back in the oven under the broiler. Allow to reach 145º, then remove from oven.
Allow to rest about 5 minutes. Serve salmon with sauce drizzled over the top.
Notes
I used Reynold's Wrap non-stick grill aluminum foil. I like how it is much larger, making it easy to use in this application.
