Start by making the feta dressing.

Break up about 1 cup of loose feta cheese into a bowl.

Add 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt to the feta cheese.

Stir in 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Add 2 teaspoons of dill.

Press 2 cloves of garlic into the mixture.

Add 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice.

Add a pinch of black pepper, mixing everything together.

Put the feta dressing in the fridge to chill.

Next, make the herb and garlic dressing.

In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar and 1/4 cup of olive oil.

Add 1 teaspoon of fresh grated ginger.

Press 3 cloves of garlic into the bowl.

Add 1/4 cup of maple syrup.

Stir in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of dill.

Add 4 pinches of black pepper and mix well.

Put the herb and garlic dressing in the fridge to cool.

Prepare the potatoes by peeling them and cutting them into thin rounds.

Pat the potato slices dry to remove excess moisture.

Pan-fry the potato slices in a skillet, using about 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Fry until golden brown and crispy, flipping as needed.

While the potatoes are frying, heat a separate pan for the salmon.

Pan-fry the salmon fillets until cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness.

Serve the salmon alongside the tossed salad with the feta dressing.
