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.

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 & DILL SALAD

Steps:

• Heat the oven Celsius Cook the potatoes in simmering salted water for 15 minutes until tender, adding the beans after 10 minutes.
• To make the sauce, whisk the honey, mustard, vinegar, olive oil and dill until thickened. Place the salmon on a baking tray lined with baking paper or foil, brush with olive oil and season well. Bake for 8-10 minutes, depending on size. Rest for 5 minutes, then gently break up into bite size pieces with your fingers.
• Drain the vegetables and cut the potatoes in half. Toss them in the dressing with the beans and watercress. Spread over four dinner plates and tuck in the salmon and extra dill. Drizzle with any remaining dressing and serve with a lemon or lime wedge.

ROASTED SALMON SALAD WITH ZUCCHINI AND POTATOES

Steps:

• For the salmon and vegetables: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine the olive oil, garlic, dill, finely chopped shallot, lemon juice, red pepper flakes and smoked paprika in a small bowl or jar. Shake or stir to combine. Set aside.
• Fold a large piece of parchment paper in half, unfold it and drizzle with a little olive oil. On the bottom half of the parchment, layer the potatoes, zucchini and sliced shallots, seasoning each layer with salt and pepper. Place the salmon on top of the bed of veggies. Drizzle with about half of the lemon dressing (reserve the rest for serving), making sure to include the garlic and spices as you drizzle. Lay the lemon slices on top of the salmon. Fold the parchment over the salmon and fold the edges to seal in all the ingredients. Place the pouch on a sheet pan and bake until the salmon is just cooked and the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
• For the salad and vinaigrette: Meanwhile, add the red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt and garlic to a small bowl and mix to combine. In a slow steady stream, add 2 to 4 tablespoons olive oil, stirring as you go to emulsify.
• To serve, add the greens to a bowl and toss with the vinaigrette. Top with the kalamata olives, feta and cucumber.
• Unwrap the parchment and transfer the salmon and vegetables to the top of the salad. Serve with the reserved lemon dressing on the side.

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.

SMOKED SALMON POTATO SALAD WITH DILL

Steps:

• Wash the potatoes, put them in a small pot and cover with water. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat, and simmer until the potatoes are soft, about 15 minutes or so. Meanwhile, prepare the yogurt dressing. In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, garlic, lemon juice and season with salt a pepper. Stir in about half of the dill.
• Strain the potatoes and let them sit for a while to cool down. Arrange potatoes and salmon on plates, sprinkle with the remaining dill and spring onion. Finally, spoon over the yogurt dressing and serve.

SLOW-ROASTED SALMON WITH POTATO SALAD & DILL & MUSTARD MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 120C/100C fan/gas ½. Scatter the lemon slices, thyme sprigs and reserved dill stalks over the base of a large, shallow roasting tin or baking tray. Season the salmon generously with salt and pepper and rub half the olive oil all over the fish. Lay the salmon skin-side up on top of the lemon and herbs. Roast for 45-50 mins until the fish feels firm and a corner of skin peels away easily. If you have a digital thermometer, the salmon should be at about 55C when ready. Leave to cool slightly in the tin.
• While the salmon is cooking, tip the potatoes into a pan of cold salted water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10-15 mins until just tender. Drain. Mix the mustard, lemon juice and olive oil together in a large bowl, and season with salt and pepper. Tip the hot potatoes into the bowl and toss to coat in the dressing. Set aside. Can be served hot or made a day ahead and chilled.
• Carefully lift the salmon onto a serving platter, if you like (it can also be served directly from the tin). Peel away and discard the skin, then use a cutlery knife to neatly scrape away the grey meat on top (see quick fishcakes recipe, below, to use it up), leaving the pink flesh underneath. The salmon is now ready to eat warm, or leave to cool completely and eat at room temperature. (See tip for garnishing the salmon, below.) Will keep chilled for up to two days. Can be served cold.
• For the mayonnaise, mix all of the ingredients together in a small bowl. Can be made a day ahead and kept chilled. Just before serving, brush the rest of the olive oil over the salmon and season with sea salt. Serve with the potato salad and dill & mustard mayonnaise on the side.
