Hot smoked salmon with new potatoes & watercress recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced into half moons
  • 1 tbsp white wine or rice wine vinegar
  • 200g baby new potatoes or Jersey royals, halved if large
  • 2 tbsp buttermilk
  • 1 ½ tbsp low-fat mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp freshly grated horseradish, or from a jar
  • 100g fine green beans, trimmed
  • 1 small sweet red apple, cored and sliced
  • 2 hot smoked salmon fillets (about 300g/11oz), skin removed, broken into pieces
  • 100g watercress, roughly chopped

Method

  • In a large bowl, toss the onion with half the white wine vinegar and some salt. Set aside.

  • Boil the potatoes in a pan of salted water until tender. Drain well and put back in the pan to steam-dry for a few mins. Tip into the bowl with the onion and gently toss together so that the potatoes absorb the vinegar. Season and leave to cool.

  • In a small bowl, mix together the buttermilk, mayonnaise, remaining vinegar and the horseradish. Add some salt and fresh ground pepper, and mix well. Toss the potatoes in the mixture.

  • Boil the beans for 1 min in salted water, drain, rinse in cold water and dry. Divide the potatoes between two plates and top with the apple slices, beans, salmon and a large handful of watercress.
