    If you are looking for a great dinner salad, this Warm Potato Salad with Dill & Smoked Salmon is full of flavour and easy to make.

    This warm twist on potato salad makes a great appetizer or main dish meal. Just like this recipe for Smoked Salmon Stuffed Potatoes.

    Do you like fish and potatoes? Do you like fish and chips? Well think of this potato salad as an upscale version. Combining a family recipe, and a bit of inspiration from one cool guy, potatoes and smoked salmon are in a league of their own. I even made this into a potato appetizer too!

    You will receive a FREE PANTRY STAPLES PRINTABLE and easy recipes to make with them.

    And since you must be a seafood lover, you have to try this Buckwheat Salad with grilled scallops too.

    I am a potato lover and always will be. There are never too many ways to enjoy them. Mashed to baked, potato pancakes to crispy fries, they are all delicious. Have you tried my fish cakes recipe? These are great as a main dish, but also a fun appetizer.

    The humble potato can be the star of the show too. Cast Iron Skillet Potoates are presentation perfect.

    When I was a kid, each summer we would have a huge family BBQ. The highlight of the meal (in my opinion) were the Potatoes with Green Onion & Dill.

    My mom and aunts had huge gardens. Potatoes, dill, and everything else you can think of grew in them. The ladies would just trade baskets of this for baskets of that. It was like our own little farmer’s market.

    Maybe it’s a Ukrainian thing, but the aroma of fresh dill is so enticing. Mom would always grow it in the garden because you cannot make dill pickles without it. I love it in borscht, and that reminds me, I really need to post that recipe.

    With all those gardens, you would think that I would grow my own vegetables right? WRONG!! I am a shopper inside and out. I love visiting the farmer’s markets during growing season. When that is not possible, the grocery stores are where you will find me. In my cart, you will often see a bag of Little Potato Company potatoes. These little gems are the perfect size for so many delicious recipes.

    We all know fish and potatoes are the perfect match. Slow Cooker Creamy Fish Soup is the ultimate comfort food.

    ARE YOU A SALMON LOVER?

    Salmon is the seafood of choice in our family. Now that grilling season is here, cedar planked salmon will be happening throughout the summer. Homemade salmon burgers are always a hit too. Maybe I should at least grow some dill?

    This salad is so easy. Wrap some potatoes in foil and bake. Heck, you can even do this on the grill. When they are done, keep them wrapped until ready to use. In a frying pan heat some olive oil and butter. Add some chopped green onion and LOTS of fresh dill.

    The dressing literally takes minutes to make. Open the foil pack, put the potatoes in a bowl and pour the aromatic warm dill sauce over the potatoes. Top with thin slices of smoked salmon and some fresh ground pepper. Dinner is ready.

    Do you like smoked salmon? It can be used in so many ways. Great for breakfast on bagels, or as a topping on crackers or crostini. Have you tried Smoked Salmon Cucumber Appetizer with Cream Cheese? These are perfect for entertaining. How about a super easy Smoked Salmon Salad with Cucumber Noodles for dinner? 

    If you love gourmet sandwiches, then this Smoked Salmon Sandwich is sure to please. The classic tomato and cheese just got a delicious makeover. 

    HOW MANY COOKBOOKS DO YOU HAVE?

    I don’t even want to count, but I will say I have LOTS. You can never have too many right? We all need some inspiration now and again. You can often find me sitting on the floor, surrounded by open cookbooks. Just looking at the pictures is so enjoyable.

    If you are lucky, once in a while you get to meet some interesting people. In October 2016, while attending the Food Bloggers of Canada conference, I had the chance to meet Dennis Prescott, or better known as “Dennis The Prescott”.

    Close up shot of cooked baby potatoes and thinly sliced smoked salmon in a bowl with dill sauce.

    Unfortunately I was unable to take the photography workshop he taught, but I did get to listen to him speak, and talk to him in person. Dennis is a remarkably talented, down to earth guy. He told so many interesting stories, I could have listened to him for hours. Not to mention looking at his beautiful pictures.

    Just recently he published his first cookbook Eat Delicious (affiliate link). Yes of course I bought it, how could I not? If you don’t have a copy, you should. On the cover it says, 125 awesome recipes, and this is TRUE! I didn’t even know where to start. In fact I had a hard time reading the recipes because I could not take my eyes off the mouthwatering pictures.

    Finally coming back to reality, I knew I wanted to try something. The inspiration for this salad came from his Lemon-Dill Potato Salad with Smoked Salmon. Taking our traditional family recipe and adding some smoked salmon, my little creation turned out pretty tasty. Now, if I could take pictures half as good as Dennis I would be thrilled. Maybe he can teach at the conference this year?

    Warm Potato Salad with Dill & Smoked Salmon is great as an appetizer, or side dish. Our favourite way to enjoy the star of the show, is dinner salad. Perfect with a glass of wine, in the backyard enjoying the sun. Hope you give it a try. Happy Summer!!

    Do you have a favourite potato salad?

      Oh garsh Gloria!!! Don’t even get me started on the number of cookbooks I have. . .but it is way too many and I barely have space for them in my itty bitty apartment. Fortunately we will be closing on our new house soon. . .and I have to admit that I am very much so looking forward to finding a tucked away space to keep them all in (as opposed to my night stand, coffee table. . .and wherever else there is open space).

      As for this potatoes and salmon. . .it looks so lovely. My hubby is a big fish and chips (and salmon fan too) fan so I am certain this would be right up his alley.

      This is warm enough to be comforting, but with all the dill, it is very fresh tasting at the same time. Salmon is the perfect counterpart with it’s light, smoky flavor. I love the textures in this salad.

      Oh. My. Goodness. I love the idea of this potato salad. I usually don’t care for it because of the mustard and mayo (don’t like condiments), but this I would try AND THE ADDITION OF THE SALMON…WINNER!!!!!

      We love smoked salmon and I hesitate to say but I am not a fan of potato salad. Now, the potato salad I’m referring to is the one full of mayo and a sweet aftertaste. Your potato salad looks fabulous!! I really think I could dig into that and not stop until it is gone. I not only want to thank you for the recipe but for introducing me to Dennis The Prescott. What gorgeous photos and recipes. I signed up for his posts.

      Potatoes, salmon, and dill fit my Scandinavian heritage as well – they’re such a wonderful combination! But this is a lovely twist on it! I really like the idea of the salad.

      It’s been so long since I had smoked salmon that I had instant cravings for it when I saw your dish! What a delicious meal this is and I’ll certainly enjoy more than 1 serving for sure!
