1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Boil the potatoes for 5 mins. Drain and tip into a bowl - they will be slightly underdone. Toss with the tarragon, lemon zest, butter and seasoning to taste. Pile in the centre of a foil-lined baking tray.
2. Season salmon with black pepper and wrap the pancetta or prosciutto around the fillets. Place on top of the potatoes and roast for 15-20 mins, or until the fish flakes easily and the pancetta or prosciutto is golden. Serve with steamed green beans.

Make it different

Dill or basil both work well with salmon and pancetta, instead of tarragon.

  The salmon keeps moist with the pancetta

  I added some white wine to the salmon and placed the potatoes on the sides not on top. Delicious.

  Very simple and easy to prepare. I used basil as I couldn't get fresh tarragon. Popular with the whole family and will definitely be a regular meal! Would work well for family supper or dinner guests.

  I followed the recipe for the Salmon wrapped with Pancetta. I made this in my Sharp Microwave/Convection Fan Oven and it turned out succulent and tasty. Instead of using boiled new potates, I did jacket potatoes in my Microwave/Convection Oven. I scrubbed Maris Piper potatoes, pricked them all over with a fork, then rubbed butter and salt into the potatoes and baked them on the rack until golden with crispy skin (about one hour). We liked this recipe so much, we had it twice in one week! The second time, we had Nigella L's mash (with nutmeg, butter and cream, mmm). A great dish for entertaining!
