Description
Flaky grilled salmon tossed with tender potatoes and a tangy yogurt dressing. A light yet satisfying summer meal.
Ingredients
Units
- 2 lb (907 g) baby potatoes
- 1 lb (454 g) fresh salmon fillet, skin on
- 4-5 small shallots, skin on, cut in half
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) plain yogurt
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil, plus extra for grilling
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) maple syrup
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) white wine vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the baby potatoes and cook until tender, about 8–10 minutes depending on their size. Drain and let cool slightly.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C). Brush the salmon lightly with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
- Grill the salmon skin-side down first for 5–6 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3–4 minutes, brushing with maple syrup as it cooks, until just opaque in the center. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.
- While the salmon rests, drizzle the halved shallots with olive oil and grill for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until soft. Remove the skins and separate the shallots into layers.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yogurt, olive oil, white wine vinegar, garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper to form the dressing.
- Add the warm potatoes, chunked grilled salmon, and grilled shallots to the dressing. Gently fold together to coat.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste, garnish with a few fresh greens, and serve.
Notes
- Let the potatoes cool slightly before mixing so they absorb the dressing without falling apart.
- Use skin-on salmon for easier grilling and extra flavor.
- Grilling the red onions adds sweetness and depth.
- Fresh dill and feta balance the richness of the salmon beautifully.
- Serve the salad warm or at room temperature.
