๐ What Youโll Need
- 1 lb salmon (baked or pan-seared, then flaked)
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons mayo or plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ยฝ teaspoon black pepper
- ยฝ teaspoon salt
- ยผ cup diced onions (optional)
- ยผ cup diced celery (optional for crunch)
๐ฝ๏ธ How to Serve It
Start by cooking your salmon. You can bake it at 400ยฐF for about 10 to 12 minutes or pan-sear it until itโs cooked through and flaky. Once it cools, gently break it into bite-sized pieces.
In a separate bowl, mix together your mayo (or Greek yogurt), olive oil, fresh lemon juice, mustard, and seasonings. This is where all that flavor comes together.
Add your flaked salmon into the mixture and gently stir until everything is coated. If you like a little crunch and extra flavor, fold in your diced onions and celery.
You can serve it right away, but letting it chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes really brings everything together.
