Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Arrange salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and season generously with salt and pepper. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. (20 minutes)

04

Step

While the fish is baking, cut potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Place in a pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain well and set aside to cool slightly. (20 minutes)

05

Step

Once the salmon is cool enough to handle, flake it into bite-sized pieces, removing any skin if desired. Chop the potatoes into smaller, more uniform pieces if needed. (5 minutes)

06

Step

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, chopped potatoes, 6 chopped hard-cooked eggs, celery, and red onion. (5 minutes)

07

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together the salad dressing, light mayonnaise, sugar, cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard. (3 minutes)

08

Step

Gently fold the dressing into the salmon and potato mixture until everything is well coated. Be careful not to overmix. (2 minutes)

09

Step

Transfer the salad to a serving bowl. Cut the remaining 2 eggs into wedges and use to decorate the top of the salad. Sprinkle with fresh dill. (5 minutes)
