Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¼ pounds salmon filet
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ lemon zested and juiced (about ½ tablespoon of zest and 1 ½ tablespoons juice)
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • ½ small red onion finely diced
  • 3 large radishes grated
  • 2 stalks celery small diced
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F 190°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the salmon on the sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle smoked paprika, salt, and pepper evenly over the fish.
  2. Bake the salmon for 16 to 18 minutes until it flakes easily. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then break it into chunks and transfer to a bowl. Chill in the refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. While the salmon cools, finely dice the red onion and celery, grate the radishes, and chop the dill and chives. Add all to the bowl with the salmon.
  4. In a small separate bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to form the dressing.
  5. Pour the dressing over the salmon and vegetable mixture and gently stir everything together. Serve the salad chilled on its own, on lettuce leaves, or in a sandwich or wrap.

Notes

  • For crisp tops, broil 2–3 minutes at the end
