Instructions
Brush the bottom of a large deep frying pan with 1 tablespoon of the oil.
Put the potatoes in the pan and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Top with the onion and then the salmon.
Sprinkle another 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper over the salmon.
Add the water to the pan, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the salmon and potatoes are done, about 15 minutes.
Remove the salmon and flake.
Drain the potatoes well and put in a medium bowl.
Add the cream and mash, leaving the potatoes fairly chunky.
Add the salmon, another 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper, the scallions, and 2 tablespoons of the dill. Form the mixture into eight cakes; they needn't be perfectly symmetrical or smooth.
Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and heat over moderately high heat.
Add half the salmon cakes to the pan and brown well on both sides, about 5 minutes in all.
Drain on paper towels and repeat with another tablespoon oil and the remaining salmon cakes.
In a medium glass or stainless-steel bowl, whisk together the mustard, vinegar, and the remaining 1 tablespoon dill and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
Add the remaining 1/4 cup oil slowly, whisking.
Add the greens, toss, and put on plates. Top each salad with two salmon cakes and a lemon wedge.
Wine Recommendation: The full flavors of this salad can take on a chardonnay that would drown out other dishes. Select a bottle from California's Napa or Sonoma Valley for a memorable treat.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Salmon. To decide on white or red, you should consider your seasoning and sauces. Chardonnay is a great friend to buttery, creamy dishes, while sauvignon blanc can complement herb or citrus-centric dishes. A light-bodied, low-tannin red such as the pinot noir goes great with broiled or grilled salmon. The Santan Ema Reserve Chardonnay with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 14 dollars per bottle.

Santa Ema Reserve Chardonnay
Santa Ema Chardonnay Reserva is a bright golden yellow colored wine that comes from the Leyda Valley. A bouquet of ripe tropical fruits emerges, such as bananas and passion fruit along with touches of honey and vanilla. In the mouth, it is a wine of good balance and pleasant acidity.Ideal to go with oily fish and sauces, seafood and grilled crab. Also ideal for white meat and mature cheeses.
