Notes
Lemon Zest Twist:
Add a bright and citrusy note to your salmon salad by incorporating some freshly grated lemon zest. Mix it in with the salad ingredients to give the flavors an extra pop and a touch of refreshing tanginess. The lemon zest perfectly complements the rich and buttery salmon.
Dill Delight:
If you’re a fan of herbs, consider adding some chopped fresh dill to your salmon salad. Dill pairs beautifully with salmon, adding a delicate and aromatic flavor profile. Sprinkle the dill over the salad and give it a gentle toss for an herbaceous twist that will elevate your taste experience.
Crunchy Addition:
Enhance the texture and crunch of your salad by adding some finely chopped almonds or walnuts. The nuts will not only provide a satisfying crunch but also add a delightful nutty flavor that complements the creamy salmon perfectly. Sprinkle them on top just before serving for an extra dimension of taste.
