Salmon & Cilantro Potato Salad Recipe #179574
DH & I were the lucky recipients of a lrg amt of fresh salmon recently. 18 lbs went to be smoked & the rest is in our freezer, so I've been on a mission to expand my salmon horizons. The Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute has been my best source & they didn't disappoint me w/this truly special potato salad that ranks right behind "my mama's best" for me. They described it as a side-dish, but I've used it more as a hearty 1-dish salad meal & just served it w/crusty bread & a variety of veggie/salad items at its side (sliced tomato & cucumber, olives, hard-boiled eggs, etc). Times were estimated & do not include time spent cooking the potatoes. This is a must try! Enjoy! (Edited to Add: To halve this recipe, use 1/2 can salmon & the rest of the ingredients halve easily. Then w/the unused canned salmon, make salmon patties to accompany the salad.)
