Seared Salmon, Watercress, and Potato Salad With Olive Dressing 19

INGREDIENTS
1 lb. baby new potatoes

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

8 oz. green beans, trimmed

3 tbsp. olive oil, divided

4 skinless salmon fillets (about 1 pound total)

4 tbsp. red wine vinegar

2 tsp. Dijon mustard

1/3 c. pitted kalamata olives, chopped

1 tbsp. capers, rinsed

3 tbsp. fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped

1 tbsp. fresh tarragon, chopped

4 hard-cooked eggs

1 head butter lettuce

1 bunch watercress

1 bunch radishes, trimmed

DIRECTIONS
  1. Place potatoes in a large pot; cover with cold salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until tender, 10 to 12 minutes; drain and run under cold water to cool. Meanwhile, steam green beans until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes; run under cold water to cool.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown and opaque throughout, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; let cool. Flake into large pieces.
  3. Whisk together vinegar, mustard, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a bowl. Add olives, capers, parsley, and tarragon and stir to combine. Grate eggs on the large holes of a box grater.
  4. Place lettuce, watercress, potatoes, green beans, eggs, radishes, and salmon on a serving platter. Serve with olive dressing alongside.
