Instructions
-
Brush the bottom of a large deep frying pan with 1 tablespoon oil. Put the potatoes in the pan and sprinkle with ½ teaspoon of salt. Top with the onion and then the salmon.
-
Sprinkle another ½ teaspoon of the salt and ¼ teaspoon of the pepper over the salmon. Add the water to the pan, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes until the salmon and potatoes are done.
-
Remove the salmon and flake. Drain the potatoes well and put them in a medium bowl. Add the cream and mash, leaving the potatoes fairly chunky.
-
Add the salmon, another ½ teaspoon of the pepper, scallions, and 2 tablespoons of dill. Form the mixture into 8 cakes; they needn’t be perfectly symmetrical or smooth.
-
Wipe out the frying pan. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and heat over moderately high heat. Add ½ the salmon cakes to the pan and brown well on both sides, about 5 minutes in all.
-
Drain on paper towels and repeat with another tablespoon of oil and the remaining salmon cakes.
-
In a medium glass or stainless-steel bowl, whisk together the mustard, vinegar, and the remaining dill and salt and pepper.
-
Add the remaining oil slowly, whisking. Add the greens, toss, and put on plates. Top each salad with 2 salmon cakes and a lemon wedge.

Serve and enjoy.
