Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb salmon fillet skinless, fresh or frozen
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt plain, non-fat
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup red onion finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup celery finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 slices whole grain bread toasted
  • 4 leaves lettuce optional
  • 1 tomato sliced, optional

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowl
  • Fork
  • Toaster or oven for toasting bread

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the salmon fillet on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Season with salt and pepper. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  2. Once the salmon is cooked, let it cool slightly, then flake it into small pieces using a fork.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon with Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, red onion, celery, and fresh dill. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Toast the whole grain bread slices to your desired level of crispness. Lay out the slices and spread the salmon salad evenly onto four of the slices.
  5. If using, add a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato on top of the salmon salad. Top with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
  6. Serve immediately or wrap tightly for a packed lunch.

Notes

Chef's Tips:
• For a creamier texture, you can add a bit more Greek yogurt to the salmon salad.
• Avoid overmixing the salmon salad to prevent it from becoming mushy.
• Serve with a side of pickled vegetables for added flavor and crunch.
Food Safety:
• Ensure salmon is cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for safety.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days.
