Salmon With Potato Salad
This salmon potato salad only needs a few ingredients:
- mini potatoes
- smoked salmon
- green onion
- fresh dill

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.

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.
