Smoked Salmon Salad
Smoked Salmon Salad is a wonderful way to mix up your lunch or dinner options. Similar to tuna salad, but using hot smoked salmon instead, this smoked salmon salad can be served as a sandwich, in a crunchy cucumber boat, or over greens and with tomatoes and avocado in a salad. It's delicious and super easy to prepare.

Ingredients
- 4 oz Waterfront BISTRO Hot Smoked Salmon
- 1/2 tablespoon mayo
- 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon red onion finely diced
- 1 tablespoon celery finely diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill minced
- 1 teaspoon capers
- 1 lemon zest and juice
- freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Remove the smoked salmon from the package and flake the salmon with a fork, careful not to flake the skin. Place the salmon flesh in a bowl, leaving the skin behind to be discarded.
- To the bowl, add the mayo, Dijon mustard, red onion, celery, dill, capers, lemon zest, and juice of half a lemon. Mix together with a fork until combined.
- For best flavor, refrigerate to allow the flavors to meld together, but I can never take the time to do this and I eat it straight from the bowl.
- Serve over a green salad, over toasted bread, on avocado toast, over cucumber boats, or with whole-grain crackers.
Notes
Cucumber Smoked Salmon Boats
For this preparation, you will need Persian cucumbers or English cucumbers. Slice the cucumber in half and use a spoon to hollow out the cucumber by removing the seeds. Fill with the smoked salmon and enjoy.
Avocado Smoked Salmon Toast
Toast a slice of whole-grain or sourdough bread. Add half of an avocado and smash it onto the bread. Top with salt and pepper and squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Top with the smoked salmon salad and some micro-greens or sprouts.
Smoked Salmon Salad over Greens
Fill a bowl with your favorite greens - I used arugula. Top with slices of cucumber, cherry tomato halves, diced avocado, and the smoked salmon salad. Drizzle with lemon avocado oil or with extra virgin olive oil and a squeeze of lemon and top with freshly cracked black pepper for a simple dressing.
