I think I made a couple fatal errors that caused the dish to be average. I did not have anchovy paste or capers on hand and made no substitutions. I used russett potatoes when yukon would have been more most. Plus I overcooked the salmon. I had individual fillets and tried to reduce the time, but not enough. It seems this would be a very good recipe if followed more closely - also I think generous portions of the vinaigrette would really pull it together. I used both golden and red beets and added onions to the mix.

This was the easiest dinner. I made the potatoes and carrots instead of beets. The salmon was fabulous. I used a little olive oil, salt, and pepper on it, cooked it 15 minutes and it was perfect. Definitely will make it again.

This was the easiest dish I've made in a long time--which is pretty impressive considering it has beets in it. The flavors worked perfectly together, and it was totally guilt free!
