Salmon salad

Almost any salad with salmon (or other red fish) can be included in a healthy, wholesome diet, as well as as part of various diets and food restrictions. If we are not talking about canned food, but specifically about lightly salted, smoked, semi-smoked, fried or salted fish. Most often, in addition to the main ingredients, the list of ingredients contains fresh vegetables, rennet cheese, herbs, other seafood, eggs, and crackers. And, as a rule, mayonnaise is not included in salmon salad recipes.

In a simple, everyday version, such a salad is simply a mixture of chopped products in a chaotic form. It is seasoned with vegetable (preferably olive) oil with the addition of vinegar (balsamic is possible), salt and spices. For a festive version, a layered salad is prepared, in which each layer is a separate ingredient. And the layers are arranged so that from the side or on the cut they look beautiful and impressive. You can decorate with red caviar, olives, and shaped lemon slices.

In general, it is recommended to sprinkle salmon with lemon juice before cutting into salad. This way it becomes more tender, more aromatic, softer, and its taste becomes brighter and richer. It has also been noted that this fish goes better with raw vegetables: cabbage of all types, cucumbers, tomatoes, arugula, celery, bell peppers, spinach, green peas, lettuce leaves, onions and green onions, avocados, as well as pineapples, apples, oranges , olives, olives, pomegranate seeds, shrimp, fish caviar, basil, finely grated hard cheese such as Italian parmesan.

You can serve salmon salad as a stand-alone appetizer for breakfast and dinner, or as a pre-lunch snack. It saturates the body with vitamins, proteins, minerals, and gives a feeling of satiety.
