8 servings
60 minutes
Salad Olivier with salmon is a modern interpretation of the famous Russian salad traditionally made with meat. Salmon adds tenderness and a slight saltiness that pairs wonderfully with classic ingredients: potatoes, carrots, green peas, and pickles. The special touch is a mayonnaise-based sauce with pickled ginger and lemon juice that gives the dish zest and freshness. This salad is perfect for festive gatherings, impressing guests with its sophistication. It has a rich flavor where the saltiness of the salmon harmonizes with the tenderness of the vegetables and the spiciness of the greens. Salmon Olivier can be served as a standalone dish or as an appetizer; it pairs beautifully with crispy bread and white wine. A great choice for those looking to add elegance to a traditional recipe!
