Lactose Free Whole30 Smoky Paprika Smoked Salmon Hash
Crispy golden potatoes, sweet bell pepper, smoky spiced salmon — this skillet hash is the kind of one-pan meal that makes you genuinely excited to get out of bed in the morning. The whole thing comes together in a cast iron skillet with avocado oil as the only fat, so there's not a drop of butter, cream, or cheese anywhere in sight — and honestly, you won't miss any of it. The hot-smoked salmon brings a rich, savory depth that more than pulls its weight, while smoked paprika and a touch of cayenne give the potatoes a warm, slightly smoky kick that ties everything together beautifully. Getting those Yukon Golds properly golden and crisp before building the rest of the hash is the move — that texture contrast with the tender flaked salmon is what makes each bite so satisfying. A squeeze of fresh lemon at the end brightens the whole dish and cuts through the richness in exactly the right way. It's hearty enough to anchor a weekend brunch but simple enough to pull off on a weekday morning without any stress.
