A delicious way to use leftover salmon! This awesome salad features: Fresh corn off the cob, zucchini, roasted and salted almonds, crispy potatoes, fried egg, cornbread croutons, green beans, and a delicious honey-mustard dressing over some lettuce. It's one of my favorites!

Ingredients

Egg 1
Olive oil 1 Teaspoon
Salmon 1/4 Cup (4 tbs) ((leftover, cold))
Potatoes 1/4 Cup (4 tbs) , crisped ((leftovers are fine and can be reheated in the toaster oven, or follow the recipe))

Directions

Salad Instructions:

1. (If using leftover crispy potatoes, re-heat in the toaster oven. 350F until they’re hot.)

2. Heat pan. Add oil. Slowly add egg (I like to pour it from a small bowl). Sprinkle with a dash of salt and pepper. Cook, covered, flipping if desired, until it reaches desired doneness.

3. Top lettuce with potatoes, veggies, almonds, croutons, and salmon. Place egg on top. Drizzle with dressing.
