Published 7/24/2023 If you’re looking for a high-protein, veggie-packed salad, then you are going to love this easy salmon salad recipe! It’s made with our favorite pan-seared salmon and Greek yogurt dressing. There is no one that loves salad more than Emily Richter our COO. She makes a version of this recipe weekly for her family and her 2 year old gobbles it right up it’s that good. The salmon is perfectly flakey and you can pretty much use any veggies you have on hand.
What is in this salmon salad?
Pan-seared salmon: whether you use leftover salmon or prepare salmon for this salad, pan-seared is the way to go. You get a crispy exterior and a flakey interior. Greek yogurt dressing: some would say this Greek yogurt dressing is good on everything and we agree! Slather it on everything. Fresh herbs: the fresh dill in this recipe takes the flavors to the next level.
Salmon Salad Variations + Substitutions
Feel free to prepare your salmon any way you’d like. Pan seared is our favorite but we don’t discriminate. You can try air fryer salmon or even grilled salmon. It is easy to mix up and keep in the fridge on hand. It is delicious with this salmon salad, salmon burgers, grilled zucchini, or smothered over this buffalo chicken salad. We highly suggest using romaine lettuce for this salad as many of the ingredients are heavy and would overpower softer green.
