Skillet Salmon Potato Hash Recipe - Healthy Brunch or Light Dinner (1)

When we lived in Manhattan many years ago, there was an amazing breakfast spot just a couple of blocks away from our apartment. In truth, it was a diner serving up burgers, sandwiches, salads and eggs every style, every hour of the day. As good as their Cobb salad was, I was a sucker for their omelets with a side of hash. Tender, salty and perfectly browned on the flat-top grill. Extra hot sauce and ketchup, please!

Since we don't go out for breakfast very often any more, a perfected homemade hash is essential. As much as I love serving them with any of my favorite egg recipes, I now have a penchant for dinner hashes with some sort of protein mixed in, like this ham version or my new favorite salmon potato hash.

The trick to a good hash is two-fold. First, boil the diced potatoes until just tender before browning them in the pan. My favorite Creamer potatoes from the Little Potato Company are awesome in this recipe. I used the Terrific Trio, but any of their Creamer varietals would work.

The second trick? A HOT skillet, preferably cast-iron for stellar browning power. If you don't have a cast-iron pan, that's okay. Just make sure that the skillet is good and hot when you add the potatoes.

As much as I love the flavor and texture of the Creamer potatoes, the nutritional value is a huge selling point for me. For example, they are a great source of potassium, which helps the body absorb calcium and can be one way to build up your bone strength and avoid osteoporosis. There are days when I struggle to get the recommended daily allotment of potassium. Instead of throwing an extra banana into the mix, I cook up a pot of , a batch of or some of this salmon potato hash. Problem solved!

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook until just tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain.

  • Season the salmon with ⅛ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon ground pepper. Heat 1 teaspoon canola oil in a large skillet (preferably cast-iron) set over medium-high heat. Add the salmon (skin side down if it has skin) and cook until the fish is opaque about ¾ of the way up the fish, about 5 minutes. Flip the fish and cook for 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate. When cool enough to handle, break up into pieces.

  • Add ½ teaspoon oil to the skillet, and add the onion and pepper. Cook until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.

  • Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and stir in the potatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes start to brown, 8 to 10 minutes.

  • Stir in the salmon, spinach, dill, ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon ground pepper, until the spinach is just wilted. Serve.
