Notes
- Try other seafood: Squid and scallops are great additions to this seafood salad.
- Use fresh herbs: To make this dish feel extra fresh and of restaurant quality, add fresh herbs such as chopped parsley, dill, or cilantro.
- Don’t over season the salad: This recipe for seafood salad is meant to be light and fresh. Too many spices will overpower the natural flavor of the fish.
