Ingredients:

1/4 tsp horseradish

1 tsp Dijon mustard

2) In a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside. Dice into chunks.

 

3) In the same pan, with residual pan drippings, add onion and celery. Stir occasionally, sautéing about five minutes until soft. Remove and add potato halves, cut side down. Cook over medium-high heat until browned and crisp, about five minutes.

 

4) Add salmon to warm through. Add back in bacon, celery and onion. Toss to combine. Plate.

 

5) In a small bowl, mix together the horseradish, sour cream, and dill. Dollop around bowl with potatoes and salmon. Top with capers. Serve immediately.
