Smoked Salmon Salad
Description
The Smoked Salmon Salad blends hot smoked salmon with mayonnaise and finely chopped red onion and dill to create a flavorful spread. The fresh lemon juice brightens the dish, while salt and black pepper adjust the seasoning to taste. The preparation involves gently flaking the salmon and mixing it thoroughly with the dressing ingredients before chilling to allow flavors to meld.
The texture balances the creaminess of the mayo with the delicate bite of smoked salmon flakes and the crispness of the onion. This salad can be served over greens for a simple lunch or on toasted rye bread slices with extra onion and leaves for a satisfying snack or light meal.
It is recommended to refrigerate the salad until well chilled and to adjust the lemon juice, salt, or pepper before serving to suit personal taste, keeping in mind that the smoked fish already contributes saltiness.
Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon hot smoked
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise I love Duke's
- 1/4 cup red onion minced
- 1/4 cup dill fresh, chopped
- lemon juice fresh, to taste
- salt fresh cracked, to taste
- black pepper fresh cracked, to taste
Instructions
- Remove any skin from your smoked salmon and gently flake the flesh it into small pieces with two forks. There shouldn't be any small pin bones in your fish, but pick them out of you see any.
- Blend the salmon with the mayo, onions, dill, lemon juice, and salt and pepper. Mix well and then cover and refrigerate until well chilled.
- Once chilled, taste the salad again to adjust any of the ingredients. You might want a little more lemon juice, or more pepper. Note: the fish is salty, so you will not need to add any extra.
- Serve a scoop of the salad on greens, or make sandwiches with it, we love it on thin toasted rye bread with a thin slice of red onion and leafy greens.
