    salmon dill salad recipe

    This Dilly Salmon Salad on Cucumber Rounds is a perfect lunch, snack or appetizer, and the salmon salad itself is fabulous on a bed of greens or a slice of toast.

    Recipe Courtesy:  Alison Needham

    I do not love leftover fish. At all. In fact, it completely freaks me out. I don’t really know what my deal is, but perhaps it’s because I’m a late-in-life seafood lover. Growing up my mom never made it (allergies), so I didn’t realize I even liked fish until I was a young adult. Even then, I was the kind of person who didn’t like fishy fish.

    Eventually, as my tastes evolved, I graduated to more complicated fishes…even sushi and oysters. But leftover fish of any sort was usually tossed out, unless my husband ate it.

    I made a poached salmon fillet the other day, and we had plenty leftover. Of course I saved it, thinking I would toss it out in a day or two. But lunch arrived, and there was no other food in the house. In a moment of inspiration (or desperation…depending on how you look at it), I decided to treat it like a can of tuna, and dress it up. I scooped it onto sliced toasted (gluten free) bread, and also cucumber rounds for good measure.

    It was delicious. I can imagine serving something like this for brunch, or even dinner on a night when it’s just too hot to cook. The dillyness, and of course the open faced sandwich (or Smorrebord) brought me right back to my Scandinavian roots. I can imagine making poached salmon again, for the express purpose of making this salad.

    Serve this Dilly Salmon Salad on Cucumber Rounds - or bread, or wraps, or whatever - soon.

    Then try this Dynamite Salmon for more bite-sized goodness!
