What to serve with this healthy smoked salmon potato salad:
You don't really need anything else for brunch, I say! This is an all-in-one dish. Maybe a mimosa?
But if you're looking for something else on the plate, I'd pair with a super simple green salad - like this one.
What to do with leftover smoked salmon:
If you have leftover smoked salmon, here are some ways to use it up:
- Cream cheese and smoked salmon is a classic combo: get some gluten-free crackers or gluten-free toast, smeared with cream cheese and top with smoked salmon pieces
- A quick "sushi roll" - not traditional sushi of course, but take small sticks of cucumber, rolled up in a sheet of smoked salmon, lined with rice. Dip in gluten-free soy sauce. Messy and delicious😋
- Speedy smoked salmon and eggs - boil a couple eggs (medium soft) and serve straight up in a bowl with smoked salmon, some fresh dill and a grind of salt and pepper on top. Keep gluten-free toast standing by for dipping too
How long does smoked salmon last?
One you thaw a package of smoked salmon, use it up within 3 days. Keep any leftover smoked salmon in an air-tight container in the fridge.
And don't re-freeze previously frozen smoked salmon. The results are not pretty.
Is smoked salmon healthy?
Smoked salmon is packed with nutrition. It's a great source of healthy, omega 3 fats; protein, and a good source of vitamins and minerals, like B12, vitamin A and vitamin E.
How to boil an egg in water without the shell:
Here's how to make perfect boiled eggs (out of the shell):
- Heat about 4 cups of water in a large pot until a rolling boil
- Add about 2 tablespoon of white vinegar to the water. This keeps the egg together in the water
- Working 1 egg at a time, crack the egg into a small bowl. Ease the egg into the boiling water from the small bowl. Do this with each egg, 1 at a time.
- Cook for approximately 5 minutes for soft eggs; 7-8 for hard boiled. The best way to check if your eggs are done is to take them out of the boiling water with a slotted spoon onto a plate covered in doubled up paper towel. If they're very jiggly; they're soft. Not so jiggly? Medium to hard boiled (the yolk will be firm.)
If this is your first time cooking eggs like this, try cooking 2 eggs at a time checking the doneness until you get it the way you like them.
For this smoked salmon potato salad recipe, we like the eggs a little runny.
Hope you love this smoked salmon potato salad like we do!
