Make this simple, protein-rich salmon salad using canned salmon for a fast and easy meal filling.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (7.5 ounce) can salmon, drained and skin/bones removed
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
  • 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Drain the canned salmon well. Place the salmon in a medium bowl and flake it apart using a fork until mostly smooth.
  2. Add the mayonnaise (or yogurt), chopped celery, minced red onion, fresh dill, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard to the bowl.
  3. Mix all ingredients together until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Season the salad with salt and pepper to your preference.
  5. Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend.

Notes

  • For a lower-fat option, substitute all mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt.
  • Serve this salad on toasted bread for sandwiches, in lettuce cups for a low-carb option, or over mixed greens.
  • If you prefer a zestier flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon of lemon zest.
