Instructions
Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas
Steam or boil the roots for 5 mins, drain well, then pat dry.
Pour 1 tbsp of the oil into a non-stick roasting tin, then put in the oven to heat up.
Add the roots, toss to coat them with oil, then return to the oven for 20-25 mins, shaking the pan halfway through until the chips are crisp and golden.
Meanwhile, cook the salmon.
Sprinkle each fillet with a little tarragon, salt and pepper.
Heat the remaining oil in a large non-stick frying pan, add the salmon, flesh-side down, then cook for a few mins until the flesh is starting to colour. Flip the fillets over, then cook for a few mins more.
Pour in the wine and bring to the boil. Simmer the salmon in the wine, basting occasionally for 5-7 mins until the salmon is cooked and the sauce is slightly thickened.
Put the spinach in a large colander, then pour the water over the leaves until wilted. Press out as much water as possible, then season the spinach with a little nutmeg.
Divide the spinach between 4 warm plates, then top with the salmon.
Pour a little sauce over each, then serve the chips alongside.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc
Salmon works really well with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc. To decide on white or red, you should consider your seasoning and sauces. Chardonnay is a great friend to buttery, creamy dishes, while sauvignon blanc can complement herb or citrus-centric dishes. A light-bodied, low-tannin red such as the pinot noir goes great with broiled or grilled salmon. The 7Cellars Elway's Reserve Chardonnay with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 28 dollars per bottle.
