DH & I were the lucky recipients of a lrg amt of fresh salmon recently. 18 lbs went to be smoked & the rest is in our freezer, so I've been on a mission to expand my salmon horizons. The Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute has been my best source & they didn't disappoint me w/this truly special potato salad that ranks right behind my mama's best for me. They described it as a side-dish, but I've used it more as a hearty 1-dish salad meal & just served it w/crusty bread & a variety of veggie/salad items at its side (sliced tomato & cucumber, olives, hard-boiled eggs, etc). Times were estimated & do not include time spent cooking the potatoes. This is a must try! Enjoy! (Edited to Add: To halve this recipe, use 1/2 can salmon & the rest of the ingredients halve easily. Then w/the unused canned salmon, make salmon patties to accompany the salad.) Ingredients:
1 (14 3/4 ounce) can salmon (drained & flaked) |
1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped) |
1 teaspoon garlic (minced) |
1 1/2 cups fat-free mayonnaise |
1/3 cup red onion (diced) |
1/3 cup celery (diced) |
2 1/2 lbs red potatoes (cooked & quartered with skin left on) |
salt & pepper (to taste) |
Directions:
1. Put mayonnaise, cilantro, garlic, onion & celery in a lrg mixing bowl & combine well.
2. Add salmon & potatoes & gently mix all ingredients together to coat. Taste & add salt & pepper to suit individual pref.
3. Chill for 1-3 hrs for best results. Garnish w/fresh cilantro & serve.
4. NOTE: # of servings & serving size will depend on whether you use it as a side dish or 1-dish meal.
