Ingredients

  • 1 cup Emeril's Mayonnaise [3]
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped celery
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 pounds new or small red potatoes, quartered, boiled in salted water to cover until fork tender, and drained
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 4 ounces each), cut in half crosswise
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Sprigs of fresh cilantro and parsley

Directions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, cilantro, garlic, onion, and celery, mix well, and season with salt and pepper, fold in the potatoes carefully so as not to break them up. Season again with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
