Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb potatoes
  • ¾ lb salmon fillet
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup fresh dill
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the 1.5 lb potatoes in a large pot, cover with salted water, and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    While potatoes cook, season the 0.75 lb salmon with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pan-sear over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side, until opaque and flaky. Set aside to cool.

  3. 3

    Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. Cut into bite-sized chunks and place in a large bowl.

  4. 4

    Dice the 1 red bell pepper and add to the bowl. Flake the cooled salmon and add it along with the 0.25 cup chopped dill.

  5. 5

    In a small bowl, whisk together the 0.5 cup mayonnaise, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Pour over the salad and toss gently to combine.

  6. 6

    Chill for at least 15 minutes before serving, or serve warm. Garnish with extra dill if desired.
