Salmon Salad Sandwich

salmonsaladsandwich This salmon salad recipe is made with canned salmon and comes together quickly. It's similar to tuna salad, so it's great in sandwiches for easy lunches.

2 (5 oz) cans salmon, drained
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
½ lemon, freshly juiced
½ lemon, freshly zested
1 stick celery, chopped small
1-2 Tbsp. capers, drained and chopped
1-2 Tbsp. red onion, chopped small
1 Tbsp. fresh dill, chopped
sea salt
black pepper, freshly ground

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 and 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.

Makes 4 servings.

Cook’s 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.
