Ready in under 30 minutes, this keto-friendly whitefish salad is an ideal choice for meal prep or a quick lunch. Serve chilled on its own, atop mixed greens, or in crunchy lettuce wraps for an effortless low-carb delight.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Brush the whitefish fillet lightly with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Bake the whitefish in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fish from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, flake the fish into small pieces using a fork.
In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well mixed.
Add the flaked whitefish, diced celery, diced red onion, and chopped dill to the bowl. Gently fold the ingredients together until evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Cover the bowl and chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the low-carb whitefish salad chilled, either on its own, over a bed of mixed greens, or spooned into lettuce wraps for a low-carb option.
