Serving suggestion
Selecting the ideal potatoes
Use new potatoes as they have a firm texture and slightly sweet flavour that hold up well when boiled and mixed with other ingredients. Their thin skins add a rustic touch and save time on peeling. Smaller varieties, such as Charlotte or Jersey Royals, are excellent choices. They absorb the dressing beautifully while maintaining their shape. If new potatoes are unavailable, choose waxy varieties like Yukon Gold or Anya for a similarly creamy yet slightly firm bite. We recommend you avoid starchy potatoes like Russets, as they tend to break apart in the salad.
Find the best piece of salmon
Choose fresh, high-quality salmon fillets with a vibrant pink-orange hue and a firm, moist texture. Look for a fillet with an even thickness. If the fish is the same size all over, you ensure that every part cooks evenly. Check if it has a clean, ocean-like scent—avoid any with a strong, fishy smell. We recommend finding skin-on fillets to protect the flesh as you season and cook it.

Filled with fresh and colourful greens and herbs
What is a salad without some colourful greens? Nothing compares to the sweet, refreshing crunch of fresh cucumber, which pairs beautifully with the zesty, aromatic dill and the sharp bite of spring onions, adding a lively vibrancy to the salad. They emphasise how well-balanced the salad truly is, juggling refreshing veggies with earthy potatoes and scrumptious salmon.
Tossed with a fresh lemon-mustard dressing
The potatoes and greens are tossed with a fresh lemon-mustard dressing. The fruity notes of the olive oil mellow out the sharp tang of Dijon mustard and the zesty punch of fresh lemon juice. It is a fantastic combination that brings out the natural sweetness and crispness of the new potatoes and cucumbers, wrapping everything in a refreshing embrace.
Ideas for changing the recipe
Our little secret for injecting extra flavour into the salmon potato salad involves homemade pickled cucumber. Heat sugar, vinegar, and water in a saucepan, and add the cucumbers after the mixture has cooled. It is a wonderful way to explore more fresh and tangy nuances in the already rich salmon potato salad.
If you are looking for smaller adjustments, swap or add fresh peas and radishes. Both options bring bright colours and flavours to your salad. Fresh peas add a sweet, tender pop that contrasts beautifully with the crisp, peppery bite of radishes.
