SAVE RECIPE
Step 1
Place potatoes in a large pot; cover with cold salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until tender, 10 to 12 minutes; drain and run under cold water to cool. Meanwhile, steam green beans until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes; run under cold water to cool.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown and opaque throughout, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; let cool. Flake into large pieces.
Step 3
Whisk together vinegar, mustard, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a bowl. Add olives, capers, parsley, and tarragon and stir to combine. Grate eggs on the large holes of a box grater.
Step 4
Place lettuce, watercress, potatoes, green beans, eggs, radishes, and salmon on a serving platter. Serve with olive dressing alongside.
