1 pound red skinned potatoes baby, halved and quartered
kosher salt
1 1/2 cups baby lima beans frozen, about 6 oz, thawed
1/2 cup fat free sour cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
ground black pepper freshly
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 salmon fillets skinless center-cut wild, about 4 oz each
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 scallions sliced
lime wedges for serving

1
Put the potatoes in a saucepan; cover with cold water by 1 inch and season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer 8 minutes. Add the lima beans; simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, 4 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup cooking water, then drain and return to the pot. Add the sour cream, 1 tablespoon butter and the reserved cooking water. Season with salt and pepper and smash.
2
Combine the paprika, thyme, cayenne and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl; sprinkle on both sides of the salmon. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon and cook until browned and just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
3
Stir the scallions into the potatoes and top with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Serve with the salmon and lime wedges.
