Chicken Free Whole30 Smoky Paprika Smoked Salmon Hash
Smoky, hearty, and packed with bold flavor, this skillet hash is the kind of one-pan meal that makes weekend mornings feel like a serious event. Yukon Gold potatoes get crisped up in avocado oil until deeply golden, then tossed with sautéed onion, red bell pepper, and a punchy spice blend built around smoked paprika and a hit of cayenne. The real star is the hot-smoked salmon, scattered over the top and gently warmed through so it stays in satisfying, flaky chunks rather than disappearing into the mix. It's a naturally poultry-free dish that doesn't require any swaps or substitutions — the salmon brings all the richness and protein you'd ever want from a hash. The finishing touch of fresh chives and a squeeze of bright lemon cuts right through the smokiness and ties everything together. Cast iron is key here: it builds that irresistible crust on the potatoes that a regular pan just can't match. This one goes straight from skillet to table, which means fewer dishes and more time to actually enjoy it.
