Salmon on a Boxty Recipe
Ingredients
- Salmon recipe
- 1 ( 15 oz.) can salmon, picked and rinsed
- 1 T lemon juice
- 1 T chopped fresh dill
- 1T chopped fresh Tarragon
- salt and pepper
- 3 T plain greek yogurt
- 1 T sour cream
- 2 dashes of Tabasco
- Boxties
- 2 pounds 3 to 4 large Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, plus more for seasoning the potatoes before cooking
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Directions
- Mix all ingredients for the salmon in a bowl and refrigerate. Set aside.
- Chop half of the potatoes into large dice, place in a medium saucepan, salt generously, and cover
- with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to low, and simmer potatoes
- uncovered until fork tender, about 8 minutes. Drain, return potatoes to the pot, add 1/4 cup of the
- milk, and mash until the potatoes are smooth; set aside.
- Meanwhile, grate the remaining potatoes on the large holes of a box grater. Toss with 1/4 teaspoon
- of the salt and place in a fine mesh strainer over a medium bowl until the mashed potatoes are
- ready.
- With a plastic spatula, press the grated potatoes against the sides and bottom of the strainer to
- remove any liquid. Add the grated potatoes to the mashed potatoes (no need to stir though).
- Place egg, remaining 1/2 cup milk, flour, pepper, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl and
- whisk until smooth, about 10 seconds. Add potatoes and stir until evenly incorporated.
- Heat a large nonstick frying pan or griddle over medium heat.
- Once the pan is ready, add enough butter to lightly coat the bottom when melted. Drop 3 dollops
- (about 1/4 cup each) of the batter into the pan and spread each to about 1/4 inch thick. Cook until
- the pancake bottoms are golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until
- golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes more.
- Place on a baking sheet and set in the oven to keep warm.
- Repeat with remaining butter and batter.
- Top each boxty with a dollop of salmon spread and garnish with extra chopped dill and some sliced green onions.
