Check off ingredients as you go.
Contains fish, milk.
Boil the potatoes for 15 to 20 minutes, adding the peas for the last 3 minutes. Drain them.
Mix the yoghurt, dill and lemon juice.
Divide the potatoes and peas between two bowls and lay the salmon over them.
Spoon the dressing over. Serve it warm with salmon you have just cooked, or cold with salmon that has been properly chilled, but decide which before you start: the two are handled differently.
Choose one serving temperature and handle all ingredients accordingly. A bowl assembled warm and then refrigerated sits for hours in the range where food spoils fastest.
