Salmon with Potatoes
Description
Perfect with food and drinks. The combination of boiled potatoes and fish is, you'll agree, a classic of the genre. Everyone is used to seeing this pairing in hot dishes, so I suggest slightly surprising those gathered at the table by serving an appetizer of salmon and potatoes. This appetizer is prepared, as you can see from this recipe, ridiculously simply—yet how delicious it is, you'd need to be Chekhov to put it into words. I'm no Chekhov, so I simply recommend making it and trying it. Good luck! :) Serve the appetizer with the meal.

Step 1
Here are the ingredients we'll use to make our appetizer. Everything should be familiar to you, except perhaps ricotta cheese—it's an Italian curd cheese that, if you like, you can replace with any cream cheese (Philadelphia, for example).

Step 2
Make the spread. To do this, mix ricotta, finely chopped dill, a little lemon juice and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper, mix—and the spread is ready.

Step 3
Boil the potatoes in their skins, then peel them. Cut each potato in half. To help the appetizer stand more firmly on the table, trim the tops off the potato halves—as shown in the photo.

Step 4
All that's left is to assemble our appetizer ingredients. Take half a potato, spread a layer of the topping on it, and place thin slices of salmon on top. Garnish lightly with herbs—and it's ready to serve. :)
