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

    Picture of recipe ingredients, smoked salmon, fresh dill, green onions and baby potatoes.

    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 Potatoes 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) was the Potatoes with Green Onion & Dill.

    Salmon With Potato Salad

    This salmon potato salad only needs a few ingredients:

    • mini potatoes
    • smoked salmon
    • green onion
    • fresh dill
    • butter
    • oil
    • salt and pepper

    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. I love using dill out of my garden herb box too.

    Warm Potato Salad For Dinner

    This salad is so easy. Full directions are in the recipe card below.

    Baby potatoes in a foil packet, dill and onions cooking in a frying pan.

    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 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.

    Suggestions/Recipe Tips

    Mini potatoes are great to work with. You can also regular-sized potatoes. Just cut them up before cooking. No need to peel. Bake the potatoes wrapped in foil in the oven or on the grill.

    Fresh dill is best for this recipe. You can use dried, but much less is needed. Green onion can be replaced with chives.

    Smoked salmon pairs perfectly with potatoes. If you are not a fan of smoked salmon, you can add some grilled salmon instead. Not a salmon lover? Try adding shrimp or chicken.

    Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat easily wrapped in foil in a moderate oven for about 20-30 minutes.

      So summery. And I love potato salads that avoid the whole mayonnaise route. Fresh dill and smoked salmon make this an unbeatable combination for light but satisfying summer eating. Thanks for sharing it!

      I don’t remember having potatoes all the time as a kid, but once I started doing the grocery shopping for my family, potatoes were a weekly staple. We love them every way. This salad is a new flavor combination for me, so I’ll have to give it a try.

      You’ve just made my dream salad! I love this combination of potatoes, salmon and dill, it’s the best thing you can ever eat. We love dill in Romania, we use it a lot in salads and stews, lucky mum has it growing freely in her garden.
