Salmon Potato Salad Recipes

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.

SALMON POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Add salmon; toss lightly. In a small bowl, combine the dressing ingredients; mix well. Pour over the salad and stir gently. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

SALMON-POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Boil potatoes; let cool, then halve. Season salmon fillets and cook in a lightly oiled nonstick skillet over medium-high until opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Flake into large pieces and toss with potatoes and cucumber; dress with oil, vinegar, and mustard; season.

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.)

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.

COLD-POACHED SALMON NICOISE SALAD WITH CRISPY POTATOES

Steps:

• For the salmon: Add the wine, Dijon mustard, dill sprigs and 1 cup of water to a large straight-sided skillet. Squeeze the juice from the halved lemon into the skillet and then add in the lemon halves. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Sprinkle the salmon with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Once the liquid is simmering, gently add the salmon, skin-side-down, and turn the heat to low. Place the lemon slices on top of the salmon, cover the pan and cook for 10 minutes. Turn the heat off and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes. The salmon should easily flake apart with a fork. Carefully remove the salmon from the liquid and set on a plate. Cool completely.
• For the dressing: Add the vinegar, oil, dill, mustard, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to a glass jar with a lid. Cover and shake to emulsify. Set aside until ready to assemble the salad.
• For the salad: Add the potatoes to a large saucepan and add enough cold water to cover the potatoes by 4-inches. Add a big pinch of salt and heat over medium high heat. Bring the potatoes to a boil and let cook until the potatoes are fork tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the potatoes to a plate. Reserve the pot with boiling water to use to cook the eggs and haricot vert.
• Fill a large bowl with ice and water. Bring the water back up to a boil, then add your eggs and cook for 7 minutes. Remove the eggs to the ice bath. Bring the water back up to a boil and add the haricot vert. Cook until they are tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Remove the haricot vert to the ice bath. Drain and cut them into thirds and set aside until ready to assemble. Remove the eggs from the ice bath, peel and set aside.
• Using the flat base of a measuring cup or a glass, lightly smash the potatoes to expose some of the flesh. Sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan. Carefully add the potatoes into the pan, seasoning side down. Sprinkle the exposed side of the potatoes and cook until they are crispy and golden brown in places, about 4 minutes per side. Some potatoes may break apart, that's totally fine! Remove to a plate and set aside until ready to assemble.
• To assemble the salad: Arrange the frisee and romaine leaves on a large platter. Drizzle about half of the dressing and toss to coat. Top the lettuce with the crispy potatoes, haricot vert, tomatoes and olives. Flake the cooled salmon into large pieces and scatter it on top of the salad. Slice the eggs in half and nestle into the salad. Drizzle on the remaining dressing and serve.

POTATO SALAD WITH SALMON DRESSING

Steps:

• Boil or steam potatoes until tender, remove skins, place in salad bowl-a large shallow one works best.
• Pour some dressing over and toss gently, then arrange the eggs gerkins and onions on the potatoes and drizzle the remaining dressing over.
• DRESSING: Puree salmon and tartare sauce in blender or processor, add mint, process until smooth.

SALMON WITH POTATO SALAD AND HORSERADISH YOGURT

Steps:

• For the potatoes and salmon:
• Preheat oven to 250°F. Place potatoes in a medium pot. Pour in water to cover and add a few generous pinches of salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and gently simmer until a paring knife easily pierces potatoes, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place salmon in a large baking dish and coat with oil. Season both sides with salt and pepper; place skin side down and sprinkle with caraway. Bake until a cake tester or thin knife blade inserted laterally through fillet meets no resistance, 25-30 minutes. (Fish should be opaque throughout and just able to flake.) While the potatoes and salmon are doing their thing, make the dressing and the horseradish yogurt.
• For the dressing:
• Whisk oil and vinegar in a bowl big enough to hold the potatoes. Whisk half of scallions and tarragon into dressing. Set remaining scallions and tarragon aside for serving.
• For the yogurt:
• Combine horseradish, vinegar, and a large pinch of salt in a small bowl; let sit 5 minutes. Whisk in yogurt and oil; season with salt and pepper.
• For the herbs and assembly:
• As soon as potatoes are done cooking, drain and add to bowl with dressing. Toss to coat and season with kosher salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium. Toss herbs and cornstarch in a fine-mesh sieve. Test oil temperature by adding an herb leaf. The oil should sizzle intensely (it may spatter) and the leaf should darken on contact. Fry herbs in batches until crisp and vibrant green, about 5 seconds per batch. Transfer to paper towels with a slotted spoon. Season lightly with kosher salt. (If you'd like to skip this step, we get it. Chop herbs instead.)
• Dress salmon with fried herbs and sea salt. Toss potatoes to redistribute dressing and top with sea salt and reserved scallions and tarragon. Serve salmon with potatoes and horseradish yogurt alongside.

POACHED SALMON, SPINACH, AND POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Combine potatoes and 1 tablespoon kosher salt in a straight-sided skillet; add enough water to cover. Boil until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 10 to 12 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to a bowl; cover to keep warm. Generously season fish with kosher salt and pepper. Gently lower into skillet, skin-side down, adding more water if fish is not fully submerged. Return to a boil; then remove from heat, cover, and let stand until fish is just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes (depending on thickness of fillet). Transfer to a plate, skin-side up; cover to keep warm.
• Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high. When it boils, reduce heat to medium; simmer until foamy. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally and scraping bottom of pan, until foam subsides, butter turns golden brown with a nutty aroma, and milk solids separate into brown specks that sink to bottom, 2 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and immediately whisk in shallot, Dijon, and vinegar (mixture will foam and splatter). Season generously with kosher salt and pepper; cover to keep warm.
• Halve potatoes and toss with spinach, mint, and two-thirds of vinaigrette; divide evenly among 4 plates. Remove skin from fish; drizzle with remaining vinaigrette. Flake into several pieces, divide among salads, and serve, sprinkled with flaky salt.

HOT-SMOKED SALMON & POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Steam or boil the potatoes, drain and cool for a few minutes. Put a handful of watercress onto each plate. Scatter over the potatoes, salmon flakes, spring onions and half of the dill.
• Spoon the yogurt on top, scatter with the remaining dill, and season with black pepper. Mix at the table to serve. The warm potatoes will soften the yogurt into the dill to make a fantastic dressing.
