-----New Potatoes and Salmon Salad Topped with Sour Cream
and Cottage Cheese Dressing

<Ingredients (for four)>
2 fillets of salmon
(280g)
6 new potatoes (500g)
90g shelled broad beans
Dressing
70g cottage cheese
70g sour cream
3 tablespoons milk
2-3 teaspoons salt
1 pack of Italian parsley
salt
pepper
olive oil
1)In the preparation stage, peel and wash the potatoes
and remove the skin
from the salmon. Place the potatoes in a saucepan add
plenty of water to
cover and bring it to a boil over high heat. After
it comes to a boil, slide the
lid and let it cook over low heat until tender. When
most of the potato is
cooked, add the peeled broad beans and simmer together.
2)Cut the salmon in half. Heat water in a saucepan and
when it comes to a
boil, add some salt and turn the heat to low. Place
the salmon and cook
for about 3 minutes. Then turn the heat off completely
and let the salmon
rest in retained heat. Afterwards, place on a plate.
If there are any bones
visible, pull them out.
3)The ingredients for the dressing can be mixed all
at once. Stir until the
mixture is smooth and uniform. By adjusting the amount
of milk, the
thickness of the dressing can be controlled.
4)Take out the potatoes and broad beans from the boiling
water and drain
them on a strainer. Put the vegetables in a bowl, flavor
them lightly with
salt and pepper then mash them together. Pour some
olive oil and lemon
juice. Arrange the mashed vegetables on top of the
salmon.
5)Pour the dressing over the salmon and serve.
*This salad can be served
when it is warm and also even when it is cold.
But the dressing should be poured over warm food so
that the flavor
settles better. For cooking potatoes without destroying
its shape, using
large sauce pans are best.
