Olivier with red fish
6 servings
40 minutes
Olivier with red fish is an exquisite version of the classic Russian salad that dates back to the 19th century. Originally created by chef Lucien Olivier, this salad has undergone many changes but remains a favorite on festive tables. In this version, traditional meat is replaced with lightly salted salmon, adding sophistication and noble flavor to the dish. The tenderness of potatoes and carrots, the freshness of cucumbers, the slight saltiness of the fish, and the creaminess of eggs harmoniously blend with the spiciness of dill and green onions. Canned green peas add softness, while mayonnaise binds all ingredients into a cohesive composition. Olivier with red fish is not just a salad but a true gastronomic masterpiece that perfectly suits celebrations, impressing guests with its refined taste and elegant presentation.
