Smoked Salmon Salad with Potatoes and Crispy Capers


Warm potatoes and smoked salmon are wonderfully harmonious with a creamy, guilt free tzatziki dressing and crispy capers. This simple recipe makes a delicious and luxurious brunch dish served with a glass of unoaked Chardonnay.

  • 350 g Potatoes
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Capers, drained
  • 30g Arugula
  • 100g Smoked salmon
  • 2-3 tbsp Tzatziki
  1. Place potatoes in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Cover and bring to the boil. Uncover and cook for 8 minutes, or until potatoes are just tender. Drain and set aside to cool. Cut into 6 wedges.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over a medium-high heat. Add in drained capers and potato wedges. Cook until capers are crisp and potatoes golden, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towel.
  3. Arrange sliced potatoes on serving plates. Top with rocket, smoked salmon and capers. Drizzle over the tzatziki.

    I've been wanting to make something like this for a while, but never got around to it. My idea is just like yours but with a horseradish/creme fraiche sauce :)

  18. this dish is a thing of beauty as are all of your dishes - who cant admit that pretty food looks like it tastes better than non pretty food - I hear the argument all the time about how good something tastes but by the looks of some food I would have to admit that I would never know...this on the other hand - I would brag about.
