This salad gets its lovely piquancy from salty capers and crunchy red onions—a peppery quality enhanced by an unoaked white wine (see our 7 Rules for Perfect Pairing). Sablefish, a buttery fish also known as black cod, is firmer and slightly smokier than smoked salmon, but the latter can also be substituted.

In a small bowl, cover the rinsed capers with warm water. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Drain.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, cover the potatoes with cold salted water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until tender, about 30 minutes; drain. While the potatoes are still warm, peel and slice them 1/4-inch thick. Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl.
