Fish layered salad is a refined dish of Russian cuisine that combines the tenderness of potatoes, sweetness of carrots, creaminess of cheese, and the spiciness of smoked pink salmon. Historically, such multi-layered salads emerged during the Soviet era when housewives aimed to create impressive and hearty snacks from available ingredients. This salad is distinguished by its rich flavor and harmonious combination of ingredients that smoothly transition into one another, creating a rich texture. The taste of smoked fish is highlighted by the softness of mayonnaise, while the egg adds airiness to the dish. It is perfect for festive tables, pairs well with side dishes, and can be served as a standalone dish. It can be garnished with fresh herbs or additional pieces of fish to enhance its appeal.
