Directions:Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss together potatoes, shallots, 1 tablespoon of the oil, and 1⁄4 teaspoon of the salt on a large rimmed baking sheet. Arrange mixture in an even layer, with potatoes facing cut sides down. Roast until almost tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven.
While potato mixture roasts, stir together 3 tablespoons of the mustard, 1⁄4 teaspoon of the salt, and 1 teaspoon of the honey in a small bowl. Stir together panko, thyme, 1 tablespoon of the oil, and 1⁄4 teaspoon of the salt in a separate small bowl. Arrange salmon fillets, skin side down, on a plate.

Chocolate-Covered Strawberries
Prep Time: 15 minsCook Time: 5 minsTotal Time: 20 minsServings: 24Ingredients:• 16 ounces milk chocolate chips• 2 tablespoons shortening• toothpicks• 1 pound fresh strawberries with leavesDirections:Melt chocolate and shortening in a double boiler, stirring occasionally until smooth.Insert toothpicks into tops (stem ends) of strawberries. Hold a strawberry by the toothpick and dip it into the chocolate mixture.
Turn the strawberry upside down and insert the toothpick into a Styrofoam block or place strawberry on a sheet of waxed paper; allow chocolate coating to cool. Repeat with remaining strawberries.You can leave the chocolate-covered strawberries plain, coat them in sprinkles or chopped nuts, or drizzle them with white chocolate.
Extra Tips:Don't try to take a shortcut and skip the shortening. That's what makes the chocolate harden.
Make sure the strawberries are at room temperature before coating in chocolate. If you dip them straight from the fridge, they'll sweat as they warm up and you'll be stuck with a big mess. There's no need to refrigerate the chocolate-covered strawberries to set, as they'll naturally harden over time at room temperature.
Store the chocolate-covered strawberries in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one day or in the refrigerator for two to three days.
You can freeze chocolate-covered strawberries for up to three months.
