Method
Copy TextPlace the potatoes in a large pan, add a pinch of salt and cover with 2-3cm of cold water. Bring to the boil over a high heat and cook for 8-10 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain in a colander and set aside to cool a little.
In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise with the yoghurt, mustard, chives and scallions. Season with salt and black pepper.
When the potatoes are still a little warm, toss them with the mayonnaise mixture.
Season the salmon fillets with a little salt. Place the water, onion and herbs in a large pan over a medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer.
Place salmon fillets into the pan, skin-side down. Cover and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until done to your liking.
Serve the potato salad with the salmon, generous handfuls of watercress or lamb’s lettuce and lemon wedges on the side.
