"Mimosa" with canned pink salmon

The Mimosa salad appeared in the 70s in the Soviet Union, and has since become one of the main decorations of the holiday table. It is traditionally prepared using canned fish, most often pink salmon. It is laid out together with other ingredients, such as potatoes, eggs, and mayonnaise. The salad is usually decorated with chopped egg yolk and greens on top. For the Mimosa salad with pink salmon and potatoes, it is better to choose those canned fish that do not contain anything except fish and spices.

How to cook "Mimosa" with canned pink salmon

"Mimosa" with canned pink salmon - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, fresh cooked salmon can be used as a substitute. Flake it finely and ensure it's chilled before layering for a similar texture.
For a vegetarian version, try mashed chickpeas, flaked tofu, or smoked tofu for a similar texture and protein-rich layer.
Store covered in the fridge for up to 2 days. The mayo-based layers can separate if kept longer.
Yes, assemble it a few hours ahead to let flavors meld. Add the yolk garnish right before serving.
Swap potatoes with steamed cauliflower or grated raw zucchini for a lower-carb version.
Freezing isn’t recommended—mayo and fresh veggies can become watery and lose texture upon thawing.
A hard cheese like cheddar, gouda, or parmesan grates well and adds a rich flavor.
Use Greek yogurt instead of mayo, reduce cheese, and add extra veggies like cucumbers for freshness.
Serve chilled with toasted bread, crackers, or as a side dish with grilled vegetables or proteins.
Yes, the butter adds richness but can be omitted or replaced with avocado for a healthier fat.
