Ingredients
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lemon, zest and juice
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1 tbsp grainy Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp prepared horseradish
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 (8oz) salmon fillet
- 1 lb baby potato, quartered
- ½ English cucumber, diced
- 3 celery ribs, diced
- 2 tbsp fresh dill
- 6 cups arugula
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon, shallot, Dijon mustard, horseradish, and salt and pepper.
- Arrange the salmon fillet on the prepared baking sheet. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Bake for about 15 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through. Remove the salmon from the oven and flake it with a fork. Set aside to cool.
- While the salmon is cooking, use a large pot with a steamer insert to steam the potatoes until they’re fork-tender, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a bowl lined with paper towel and let cool completely.
- In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, cucumber, celery, and dill. Pour over the dressing and toss gently until everything is well coated.
- Arrange the potato salad on a bed of arugula and top with the flaked salmon. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
