Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 - 1/2 lbs cooked salmon flaked
  • 1 rib celery chopped
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/3 - 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill loosely packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon marjoram
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl combine salmon, celery, red onion, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, dill, marjoram, paprika, and pepper.  Stir gently to combine.

Notes

  • Any cooked salmon will work but smoked salmon tastes the best.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise.  I love Dukes mayonnaise with this recipe.
  • For a lemony salty twist add 1 - 1 1/2 tablespoons of capers.
  • Fresh dill is best with this recipe as it is flavor packed however in a pinch you can use 1 tablespoon dried dill.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
  • An equal amount of green onions can be substituted for the red onions.
