Seared Salmon Jacket Potato

a deeply unserious name for a deeply delicious meal

this recipe is the second in my new series Dinner For One, where we romanticize cooking for yourself and no one but yourself. this recipe is as low-effort as it is high-reward: crispy-skinned salmon rubbed with a chili powder blend, perched on a baked potato atop a green goddess yogurt sauce. most of the time, you’re just letting things cook. hands-on time cook time is maybe fifteen minutes.

another thing i’m both proud and embarrassed to admit: i watched the entire season of sirens while making and eating this (and for many hours after i finished). it was weird but also just what i needed on a Thursday night. make this dinner for yourself - it’s easy to double the recipe if you want to make it for two people and tell me in the comments what i should watch next.
