Scandi Salmon And Cracked Potato Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Boil the potatoes in a large pan of salted water. Bring to the boil and cook for 15 mins, or until tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, zest the lemon, set the zest aside and thinly slice half the lemon. Put the salmon on a baking sheet, season and top with the lemon slices. Roast in the oven for 12-15 mins, until just cooked through. Leave to cool.
• Mix together the crème fraîche, dill, parsley, mustard, the reserved lemon zest and one squeeze of the remaining lemon half. Toss together the cooled potatoes with the onion, radish and dressing. Flake over the salmon and season. Take the part-squeezed lemon half with you to squeeze over just before eating.

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.)

Steps:

• In a food processor, blitz the cauliflower until it is riced and tip into a bowl. Add the mushrooms to the food processor and pulse these too until they are chopped small.
• Heat the oil in a large saute pan and fry the onion for 5 minutes over a medium heat until soft, then add the garlic, chile flakes and rosemary and fry for 30 seconds. Add the cauliflower and mushrooms, season well with salt and pepper and fry over a high heat for 6 to 7 minutes. Add the tomato puree and cook for a few more minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a saucepan of boiling salted water for 10 minutes. Drain, reserving 250ml (1 cup) of the water. Add the pasta to the cauliflower pan and toss together with half the Parmesan for 2 to 3 minutes, loosen with the reserved pasta cooking water as needed. Serve with the rest of the Parmesan scattered over the top.

Steps:

• Make the potatoes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a generous pinch of salt. Arrange on a baking sheet; bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife. Remove and let cool.
• Increase the oven temperature to 375 degrees F. In a cast-iron skillet, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat until hot. On a flat surface, smash and break the potatoes with the back of a wooden spoon. Season with salt. Add to the skillet and cook until browned (do not stir them!), 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the potatoes and cook 3 to 5 additional minutes. Season with salt and sprinkle with the red wine vinegar.
• Meanwhile, make the salmon: Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil; drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Arrange the salmon skin-side down on the baking sheet. Dot with the butter and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season thoroughly with salt. Use a fine-mesh strainer to sprinkle the cayenne over the fish. Bake, undisturbed, 6 to 8 minutes. (For well-done, bake an additional 5 minutes.) Remove from the oven.
• Make the salad: Toss the parsley, tarragon, arugula and radishes. Serve the salmon and potatoes with the herb salad. Squeeze the lemon juice over the fish.

Steps:

• Boil 600g baby new potatoes for 15-20 mins. Cool, then halve. Mix together 6 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp white wine vinegar, 1 small finely diced red onion, 1 crushed garlic clove, 2 tbsp capers and 1 pack chives, snipped.
• Mix potatoes and 2 x 213g cans salmon, flaked into bite-size pieces, with handful watercress. Drizzle over dressing.

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes in their skins for 15 mins until tender, then drain and cool. Meanwhile, whisk all the sauce ingredients together, except the dill. Cut each piece of salmon in half to make two long strips.
• Halve the potatoes slightly on a diagonal, then wrap a piece of smoked salmon around each piece and place onto a platter. If you want to add salt, go easy, as the salmon is highly seasoned. Scatter with pepper, a squeeze of lemon and a few dill fronds. Give the sauce a quick whisk, add the chopped dill, season to taste, then pour into a dipping bowl. Scoop the soured cream into another. To eat, dip the potatoes into the cream, then spoon over a little sauce.
