Salmon, mangetout and baby potato salad with a curried corn and salmon roe dressing
This pretty salad tastes as good as it looks and is the perfect way to showcase the flavour of Alaska salmon. The fillets are gently steamed until tender and the roe is used in a lightly curried buttermilk dressing. The combination of the rich fish with the fresh mangetout and charred corn keeps this salad light yet satisfying for a summery lunch or dinner.
