Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lb fresh salmon fillet
  • 1 lb potatoes (russet or Yukon gold, diced)
  • kosher salt and black pepper
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1-2 tbsp dried dill depending on taste
  • 1 English cucumber
  • 8 cups romaine lettuce chopped
  • olive oil

Instructions
 

Oven Cooking:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Dice potatoes and toss in a baking dish with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast fr 30-40 minutes, until tender and brown. Set Aside.
  • Meanwhile, place salmon on a sheet pan covered in aluminum or parchment paper. Blot the salmon with a paper towel to get off any excess moisture. Drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper. When potatoes are done place salmon in the oven and roast about 10-12 minutes, depending on thickness, until is flakes easily with a fork.
  • In a bowl mix together the mayo, lemon juice, dill, 1/2 tsp kosher salt and pepper. If your dressing is too thick, use a little more lemon juice to thin it out. You can even use water, or white vinegar. 1 tsp at a time.
  • Chop your romain lettuce up and divide equally among four plates. You can use as much or little romaine lettuce as you want. I typically like about 2 C per plate.
  • Dice your cucumber and divide it amount the four plates along with the roasted potatoes.
  • Using a fork, break the salmon up and divide it among the four plates as well. Drizzle the dressing over each salad. Serve warm, or at room temperature.

Air Fryer:

  • Preheat the air fryer to 370 degrees.
  • Dice the potatoes and drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper. I like to put my potatoes on top of aluminum foil for easier clean up in the air fryer. Roast the potatoes for 10-15 minutes until tender. Remove the potatoes.
  • Place the salmon on aluminum foil, drizzle with olive oil salt and pepper. Place in the air fryer and roast for 8-10 minutes until it easily flakes with a fork.
  • Continue to assemble salads per the instructions above.
