What Type of Smoked Salmon Should I Use?

We usecold-smoked salmonfor the salad but feel free to use hot smoked salmon if you prefer. Cold-smoked salmon is cured with salt and smoked at a low temperature, around 80°F-85°F. The texture of cold-smoked salmon is smooth and silky, a similar texture to when it’s raw. Hot-smoked salmon is brined and smoked at a higher temperature. The texture of hot-smoked salmon is tender and flaky. If possible, look for wild-caught smoked salmon versus farmed salmon. Wild-caught salmon from the Pacific is considered the best choice for the environment because it is more sustainably fished and has a more stable population.

Can the Salad Be Made Ahead?

You can cook the potatoes and green beans in advance. Prepare the recipe through Step 1. Make sure to cool and drain them completely. Refrigerate the cooked potatoes and green beans in an airtight container for up to two days.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
