Method

Place the oven tray in the oven and preheat to 220°C fan-forced.
Using a mandoline, V-slicer or sharp knife, cut potatoes into thin discs. Peel garlic and thinly slice 1 clove. Place potatoes and sliced garlic in a large bowl, add 2 tablespoons of the oil and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper; using your hands, toss well to coat.
Taking care, quickly line the hot tray with baking paper, then spread potatoes over the tray. Roast for 5 minutes. Reserve bowl.
Meanwhile, crush remaining garlic clove into reserved bowl. Chop enough oregano leaves to make 1 tablespoon; add to the bowl with Dijonnaise and stir to combine.
Thinly slice lemons. Spread 1/3 cup mustard mixture over salmon, then cover with rows of lemon slices. If asparagus spears and broccolini stems are thick, cut them in half lengthways.
Push potatoes to the sides of the tray to make room for the salmon in the middle. Place the salmon in the tray, then arrange asparagus and broccolini around the edges; scatter with remaining oregano sprigs.
Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the oil and season. Roast for 20 minutes or until the salmon is almost cooked through and vegetables are tender.
Stir sour cream into the remaining mustard mixture and dollop on top of the salmon. Drizzle with remaining oil and serve.

Recipe swap

You can substitute a large salmon fillet with 4 x 200g (6½oz) salmon fillets, arranged side by side. Or use barramundi or trout instead of salmon.
