i think cold grilled salmon makes a great spin on a salad nicoise, classically the recipe calls for tuna canned in oil.
boil new red potatoes, in the last couple of minutes of boiling, throw in some fresh green beans to just blanch them, drain and then stop them with cold water or plunge them into an ice bath.
the classic dish uses boston lettuce, but i think you can use whatever mix of greens suits you. arrange the greens on a large serving platter, put the potatoes and green beens on top. Other components of the salad are tomatoes and hard boiled eggs, sliced or diced to your preference. Scatter minced fresh parsley, cracked black pepper and salt and drizzle with oil and vinegar or a vinegrette.
last step is to flake the salmon in large chunks on top of the salad.
