Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ lbs baby or fingerling potatoes
- 6 to 7 large organic eggs
- 1 lb hot smoked salmon
- ½ cup salmon roe
- 1 tbsp fresh chopped dill
- 1 tbsp fresh chopped chives
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (strained)
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- 1 small shallot (finely diced)
- 1 tbsp capers (chopped)
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the baby or fingerling potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. You can leave the skins on.
- Boil Them: Place the potatoes in a large pot filled with salted water. Bring to a rolling boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
- Cool Down: Drain the potatoes in a colander and allow them to cool completely.
- Boil Water: While the potatoes are cooking, bring another pot of water to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer.
- Cook the Eggs: Gently add the eggs to the simmering water and set a timer for 7 minutes.
- Ice Bath: Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cool, peel and chop them into quarters.
- Whisk it Up: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large serving bowl, gently combine the cooled potatoes, chopped eggs, diced shallots, salmon, capers, dill, and chives.
- Add Dressing: Drizzle the dressing over the mixture and gently toss together.
- Plate it Up: Top your salad with salmon roe and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
Notes
Make the salad a day in advance for enhanced flavor. Store any salmon roe separately until serving for freshness.
