Type: Fish, Shellfish1 lb | 454g / 16oz | Small red-skinned potatoes |
1/4 teaspoon | 1.3ml | Salt |
1 cup | 62g / 2.2oz | Snow crab meat |
3 | Scallions, white part only - finely chopped | |
2 tablespoons | 30ml | Finely-chopped Italian parsley |
1/4 teaspoon | 1.3ml | Grated lemon zest |
1 tablespoon | 15ml | Olive oil |
2 teaspoons | 10ml | Fresh lemon juice |

Cut the potatoes, with their skins, in half or quarter them, making roughly 1-inch pieces. Put the potatoes in a deep pot. Add cold water to a depth of 2 inches over the potatoes. Over high heat, bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-high, and cook until the potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a knife, about 15 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and transfer to a mixing bowl. Add the crabmeat, scallion, parsley and lemon zest to the potatoes. Toss with a fork to combine. Mix in the oil and lemon juice to coat the potatoes. Season the salad to taste with pepper. (Note: Snow crab can be salty. But if you wish, season the salad with additional salt to taste when adding the ground pepper.)
Serve, mounded on a bed of shredded lettuce, surrounded by sliced cucumbers.
