Best Salmon And Spud Salad Recipes

WARM SALMON AND POTATO SALAD WITH CREAMY DILL DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until the salmon is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Use a fork to flake the salmon and set it aside.
• At the same time, steam the potatoes in a steamer basket over 2 inches of boiling water until they become fork tender, 13 to 15 minutes. Remove the potatoes and set aside. To the same steamer basket, add the green beans and steam until tender crisp, about 5 minutes. (Check to ensure there is enough water in the bottom pot at all times.)
• In the meantime, whisk the yogurt, Dijon mustard, dill, lemon zest and juice, garlic and some salt and pepper in a small bowl until well combined. Set it aside.
• In a large serving dish, arrange the cooked potatoes and green beans on a bed of arugula. Top with the flaked salmon and capers and then pour on the dressing.
• Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. (If you're planning on enjoying this the next day, do not add the arugula until just before eating.)

BASIC POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Set a steamer basket in a Dutch oven (or large pot with a lid), and add enough salted water to come just below basket; bring to a boil.
• Place potatoes in basket, cover pot, and reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Steam potatoes, gently tossing occasionally, until tender, 15 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine vinegar, scallion whites, 1 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Add hot potatoes to vinegar mixture; toss to combine. Cool to room temperature, tossing occasionally, about 1 hour.
• Add mayonnaise and scallion greens to cooled potatoes; mix gently to combine. Serve, or cover and refrigerate up to 2 days.

RUSSIAN SALMON AND POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, and peel.
• While the eggs are cooking, place the potatoes in a saucepan with just enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until tender. Remove from heat, drain, and set aside.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions, and saute until lightly browned and translucent, about 10 minutes.
• Flake salmon and spread it over the bottom of a glass baking dish or serving dish. Spread the sauteed onions over the salmon. Gently spread a little bit of the mayonnaise over the onion layer. Top with potatoes, and spread enough mayonnaise just to add moisture to the layer. Finally, slice the eggs, and cover the layer of potatoes. Spread mayonnaise over the eggs, and garnish with chopped parsley. If you wish, you can reserve some of the egg to chop and sprinkle over the top as well. Chill for 1 hour before serving.

POTATO AND SALMON SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick spray.
• Arrange salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
• While the fish is baking, scrub potatoes and cut into 1-inch cubes. Place in a pot and cover with salted water. Boil the potatoes until fork-tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.
• Flake salmon and chop potatoes; transfer to a large mixing bowl. Chop 6 hard-cooked eggs and add to the salmon mixture with celery and onion.
• Mix salad dressing, mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, and honey mustard together in a separate bowl.
• Gently mix the dressing into the salad until everything is covered. Transfer salad to a serving bowl. Cut the remaining 2 eggs into wedges and use to decorate the top of the salad.
