Steps:
- Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, and peel.
- While the eggs are cooking, place the potatoes in a saucepan with just enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until tender. Remove from heat, drain, and set aside.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions, and saute until lightly browned and translucent, about 10 minutes.
- Flake salmon and spread it over the bottom of a glass baking dish or serving dish. Spread the sauteed onions over the salmon. Gently spread a little bit of the mayonnaise over the onion layer. Top with potatoes, and spread enough mayonnaise just to add moisture to the layer. Finally, slice the eggs, and cover the layer of potatoes. Spread mayonnaise over the eggs, and garnish with chopped parsley. If you wish, you can reserve some of the egg to chop and sprinkle over the top as well. Chill for 1 hour before serving.

Steps:
- For the salmon: Add the wine, Dijon mustard, dill sprigs and 1 cup of water to a large straight-sided skillet. Squeeze the juice from the halved lemon into the skillet and then add in the lemon halves. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Sprinkle the salmon with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Once the liquid is simmering, gently add the salmon, skin-side-down, and turn the heat to low. Place the lemon slices on top of the salmon, cover the pan and cook for 10 minutes. Turn the heat off and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes. The salmon should easily flake apart with a fork. Carefully remove the salmon from the liquid and set on a plate. Cool completely.
- For the dressing: Add the vinegar, oil, dill, mustard, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to a glass jar with a lid. Cover and shake to emulsify. Set aside until ready to assemble the salad.
- For the salad: Add the potatoes to a large saucepan and add enough cold water to cover the potatoes by 4-inches. Add a big pinch of salt and heat over medium high heat. Bring the potatoes to a boil and let cook until the potatoes are fork tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the potatoes to a plate. Reserve the pot with boiling water to use to cook the eggs and haricot vert.
- Fill a large bowl with ice and water. Bring the water back up to a boil, then add your eggs and cook for 7 minutes. Remove the eggs to the ice bath. Bring the water back up to a boil and add the haricot vert. Cook until they are tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Remove the haricot vert to the ice bath. Drain and cut them into thirds and set aside until ready to assemble. Remove the eggs from the ice bath, peel and set aside.
- Using the flat base of a measuring cup or a glass, lightly smash the potatoes to expose some of the flesh. Sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan. Carefully add the potatoes into the pan, seasoning side down. Sprinkle the exposed side of the potatoes and cook until they are crispy and golden brown in places, about 4 minutes per side. Some potatoes may break apart, that's totally fine! Remove to a plate and set aside until ready to assemble.
- To assemble the salad: Arrange the frisee and romaine leaves on a large platter. Drizzle about half of the dressing and toss to coat. Top the lettuce with the crispy potatoes, haricot vert, tomatoes and olives. Flake the cooled salmon into large pieces and scatter it on top of the salad. Slice the eggs in half and nestle into the salad. Drizzle on the remaining dressing and serve.

Steps:
- Boil 600g baby new potatoes for 15-20 mins. Cool, then halve. Mix together 6 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp white wine vinegar, 1 small finely diced red onion, 1 crushed garlic clove, 2 tbsp capers and 1 pack chives, snipped.
- Mix potatoes and 2 x 213g cans salmon, flaked into bite-size pieces, with handful watercress. Drizzle over dressing.
Tips:
- To ensure the potatoes are cooked evenly, cut them into uniform-sized pieces.
- To prevent overcooking, bring the potatoes to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until tender.
- If you want to add a bit of extra flavor to the potatoes, try boiling them in salted water or adding a bay leaf or two to the pot.
- Flake the salmon with a fork before adding it to the salad. This will help to evenly distribute the salmon throughout the dish.
- For a creamy dressing, use mayonnaise or Greek yogurt. If you prefer a lighter dressing, use a vinaigrette made with olive oil, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard.
- To add some crunch to the salad, add some chopped celery, red onion, or cucumber.
- For a more flavorful salad, use fresh dill or chives instead of dried herbs.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. If you are chilling the salad, give it a quick stir before serving to evenly distribute the dressing.
