I love potato salad in all its forms, but this has to be one of my favourites. My Warm Potato Salad with Roasted Salmon is so simple, and with fresh herbs, capers and a lemon dressing, it's the perfect midweek meal. Yum!

Instructions
ROAST THE SALMON: Heat oven to 200°C (180°C Fan) / 400°F. Place salmon fillets skin side down on an oven tray lined with baking paper, drizzle with one tablespoon of oil, season, and roast for 12–15 minutes until just cooked through.
2 salmon fillets, 3 Tbsp olive oil
COOK THE POTATOES: Boil the halved potatoes in salted water for 12–15 minutes until tender. Drain and steam dry.
500 g new potatoes
MAKE THE DRESSING: Whisk remaining olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir in capers, herbs and spring onions.
3 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp red wine vinegar, 2 tsp Dijon mustard, 1 small clove garlic, 2 tbsp capers, Small handful of fresh dill, Small handful of fresh parsley, 2 spring onions, Salt & black pepper, 3 Tbsp olive oil
ASSEMBLE THE SALAD: Toss warm potatoes in the dressing, then toss with the lamb's lettuce / rocket / arugula.
3 handfuls lamb's lettuce
ADD THE SALMON: Discard the salmon skin (if it has it), then flake the roasted salmon into large chunks and mix it through the salad. Serve warm with extra dressing on the side.
Notes
I like to make a double portion of the dressing in case the potatoes get carried away and soak too much up!Wine pairing: Either an icy cold Riesling or a crisp Sauvignon Blanc would be perfect with this salad.
