Warm Salmon Salad with Crispy Potatoes

Wow. This turned out great. I stuffed the salad into a pita. Warm layer of salmon, crispy potatoes then topped with a generous handful of baby arugula with baby spinach. I was amazed at how the crispy potatoes took this recipe from salmon sandwich into crunchy heaven. They almost seemed like crispy slices of bacon. Quick and easy and easy cleanup. Will remember this recipe for a quick lunch. I didn't have buttermilk but always stock buttermilk powder so I was able to make a small amount needed for this recipe.
