Olivier with red fish

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 50 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make Olivier with red fish? Prepare the necessary ingredients. I took lightly salted trout fillet, but any red fish is suitable for this salad: pink salmon, chum salmon, salmon, salmon. Despite the fact that the fish differs in its taste (fat content, juiciness), this will not significantly affect the taste of the salad. Even less juicy pink salmon will be compensated by the juiciness of the cucumber and dressing.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the eggs, add water and bring to a boil. The eggs must be completely covered with water so that they cook evenly. Cook the eggs over medium heat with the lid open for about 9 minutes after boiling. This time is enough for the eggs to be hard-boiled. It is not advisable to overcook eggs, as this will make them hard. When the eggs are boiled, pour cold water over them so that they cool faster and are easier to peel.

3. STEP 3

   

   After previously washing the carrots and potatoes under running water with a stiff brush, pour water into the pan. Bring vegetables to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium. Cook the vegetables until tender, checking with a knife for softness. Keep in mind that potatoes usually cook faster, so remove them from the pan before the carrots to avoid overcooking. Cool the prepared vegetables completely.

4. STEP 4

   

   For Olivier salad, the ingredients are traditionally cut into cubes. Choose the size of the cubes as desired (more or less large), but the cutting size of the salad components should be the same. Remove the skin, if any, from the red fish. Cut the fish into cubes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Peel the cooled potatoes and cut into cubes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Peel the carrots in the same way and cut into the same cubes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Peel the cooled eggs from their shells and cut them in the same way.

8. STEP 8

   

   Strain the liquid from the canned green peas. To do this, place the peas in a sieve to drain the liquid.

9. STEP 9

   

   Wash the cucumber, dry it, cut it into cubes. If the cucumber has a rough skin, you can cut it off and slice the vegetable without the skin.

10. STEP 10

    

    Wash the parsley and dry it well so that excess moisture does not get into the salad. Finely chop the parsley. Instead of parsley, you can take dill or green onions, or you can omit the greens at all.

11. STEP 11

    

    Select a suitable container to mix the ingredients. The salad bowl should be spacious enough so that it is convenient to mix and nothing spills on the table. In a salad bowl, combine all the prepared foods: red fish, potatoes, carrots, green peas, eggs, cucumber, parsley. Add mayonnaise and add a little salt. Mix everything well so that the dressing is evenly distributed throughout the salad.

12. STEP 12

    

    The finished salad can be cooled a little before serving, or served immediately. Bon appetit!

An unusual, delicious Olivier salad with red fish for any occasion. Easy to prepare, with affordable ingredients. Olivier is much healthier with fish than with store-bought sausage. I served Olivier with red fish as a cold appetizer for the holiday table. Thank you very much for the recipe!
