I usually use soured cream for the dressing. This time I didn't have any soured cream, so I replaced that with greek yogurt. It's a bit lighter but still very tasty.
Smoked salmon and potato salad with dill
Serves 2
400g baby potatoes
125ml (1/2 cup) greek yogurt (soured cream)
1 small garlic clove, crushed
1tsp lemon juice
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 handful fresh dill, chopped
1 spring onion, chopped
170g smoked salmon, torn into small pieces
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 10 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.

ReplyDeleteFriday here in Bra (Piedmont) is market day and fish day, there is a guy selling his own farmed trouts and I always boy a fillet of ruby trout to have for dinner. This morning I also bought baby potatoes and I have greek yogurt in my refrigerator...Something tells me that I should try a variation on this recipe! It just looks to good to let it go!
Great salad (and greek yogurt is an excellent sobstitution for sour cream) and amazing pictures!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I often make a salad very similar to this one and it's always good. Love the colours of your version:)
ReplyDeletethat looks so good and the photos are absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone for the lovely comments!
ReplyDelete@tiina - Thank you my dear, very kind of you! :)
@kankana- I love anything with dill. But salmon and dill are just perfect combo, aren't they.
@Juls - we missed you in Budapest!
@Valeria - Lucky you that you have such a great market every Friday! I made the salad with smoked trout before and it's definitely a great variation on the salmon.
Looking forward to your photos of Budapest! That potato salad with smoked salmon looks so good- it would make a perfect lunch. :)

ReplyDeleteI tried this today. And? :) Nice, quick and homey dish, thanks for the idea! I added half bulb of fresh fennel as well and I loved the crunchiness it brought to it :)
ReplyDelete@Marju - Glad to hear you like it! I have to try it with fennel. Sounds really lovely. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks fantastic -- I didn't notice whether you cut the potatoes before or after you boiled them (not sure if it makes a difference). Which would you recommend? Thanks!
