Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 340 grams whitefish (such as cod, haddock, or pollock), cooked and flaked
- 120 grams mayonnaise
- 60 grams sour cream
- 50 grams celery, finely diced
- 30 grams red onion, finely diced
- 40 grams dill pickles, finely chopped
- 5 grams fresh dill, chopped
- 15 ml lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Begin by ensuring the whitefish is fully cooked and flaked into small pieces. If using leftover cooked fish, ensure it is cooled to room temperature before proceeding.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and sour cream until smooth and well-mixed.
3. Add the diced celery, red onion, and dill pickles to the bowl for crunch and tangy flavor. Mix well.
4. Stir in the fresh dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. This builds layers of flavor into the salad base.
5. Gently fold the flaked whitefish into the mixture until evenly coated with the creamy dressing. Be careful not to break the fish too much to preserve texture.
6. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preferences.
7. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
8. Serve chilled as a dip, spread, or on a bed of mixed greens for a low-carb lunch. Enjoy!
