Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Place the salmon in a medium bowl and mash well with a fork. If using canned salmon with the bones and skin, you can remove the bones and skin, but the skin adds extra Omega3's and the bones are very high in calcium. Once the salmon is mashed and mixed with the other ingredients, the bones and skin aren't noticeable at all. Add the celery, red onion and capers to the bowl and set aside.
- Step 2
Whisk together the mayo, Dijon mustard, lemon zest and juice, dill, horseradish, salt and pepper in a small bowl until well incorporated.
- Step 3
Pour the dressing over the salmon mixture and stir until well coated with the dressing. Serve and enjoy!
