Ingredients
- 12 oz Whitefish fillet (smoked or baked, unsalted)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (unsweetened, low-fat)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 stalk Celery (finely diced)
- 2 tablespoons Red onion (finely diced)
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup Cucumber (optional, finely diced for texture)
Directions
Step 1
If using baked whitefish, ensure it is fully cooked and cooled. Remove any skin or bones from the fillet if present.
Step 2
Using your hands or a fork, flake the whitefish into small bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and ground black pepper until well combined.
Step 4
Add the chopped dill, diced celery, diced red onion, and optional diced cucumber to the bowl with the whitefish.
Step 5
Pour the yogurt mixture over the ingredients in the mixing bowl and gently stir everything together until evenly coated. Be careful not to break up the fish too much.
Step 6
Taste the salad and adjust pepper or lemon juice if needed, but refrain from adding salt to keep the dish low sodium.
Step 7
Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 8
Serve chilled on whole-grain crackers, inside lettuce leaves, or as a topping for bagels or toast. Enjoy!
