How to Make Scandinavian Salmon Salad

  1. **Make the dressing:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons sour cream, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to taste.
  2. **Cook the pasta:** Cook your pasta according to package directions. (This time is not included in the prep time below.)
  3. **Prepare the salmon:** If using cooked salmon, flake it into bite-sized pieces. If using raw salmon, cook it until it's just cooked through (about 10 minutes at 375°F/190°C). Flake once cooled.
  4. **Combine ingredients:** In a large bowl, gently combine the cooked pasta, flaked salmon, and 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions.
  5. **Dress the salad:** Add the dressing to the salmon and pasta mixture. Toss gently to coat.
  6. **Chill and serve:** Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Garnish with 2 hard-boiled eggs, sliced, before serving.
