Crunchy veggies, melt-in-the-mouth smoked salmon and filling new potatoes – this easy-peasy salad has it all! We’ve taken the classic combination of salmon and new potatoes and mixed in peppery rocket, crisp sugar snap peas and fresh green spring onions. Everything is brought together by our low-fat salad dressing that takes seconds to make.
Just what you need on a warm summer evening, our Smoked Salmon and Potato Salad is on the table in under half an hour, and it’s only 300 calories per serving. The magic ingredient is a fillet of hot smoked salmon, which you’ll be able to find in the fish aisle of your usual supermarket. You might find that there are both plain and flavoured versions available, and any will work for this recipe! We particularly like to use honey roasted hot smoked salmon when we make it. Because the fish is already cooked all the way through, you can simply flake it into your salad.
Delicious for lunch, this dish is definitely satisfying enough to serve for a light dinner too! If you want to make it ahead of time, simply leave off the dressing until you’re ready to serve (this’ll make sure your salad leaves stay nice and crisp).
What diets is this Smoked Salmon and Potato Salad suitable for?
Our Smoked Salmon and Potato Salad can be enjoyed on gluten-free and dairy-free diets.
If you’re cooking for people with allergies, be extra careful when checking ingredients and preparing food!
Do you need any special ingredients to make Smoked Salmon and Potato Salad?
Nope! You should find that you can pick up everything you need as part of your usual weekly shop. Hot smoked salmon is smoked at a higher temperature than the traditional smoked salmon that you may have tried before. This means it’s cooked all the way through, so it can just be flaked straight into the salad. You’ll find it’s readily available in all supermarkets.

This sounds delish. Have just cooked some salmon today, ready to do for dinner tomorrow night. So think this could be on the cards.
