  • 2 (5 ounce) cans salmon drained
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • 1 stick celery chopped small
  • 1-2 tablespoons capers drained & chopped
  • 1-2 tablespoon red onion chopped small
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped

  • Drain the salmon and add it to a bowl. Mash it with a fork. Prep the other ingredients and add them to the bowl, then mix it all together. Taste and season with salt & pepper/adjust ingredients as needed.
  • This recipe makes enough for 4 sandwiches (try adding some lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and/or sliced cheese to each sandwich). This canned salmon salad will keep in the fridge for 3-5 days.

Notes

  • Recipe is easily halved (just use one can of salmon and cut other ingredients in half).
  • This recipe is very forgiving. If you don't like an ingredient, you can definitely leave it out/sub as needed with what you've got on hand!
