Drain the canned salmon well, and transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Use a fork to break the salmon into small flakes.
Dice the celery and red bell pepper into small, even pieces for a crunchy texture. Finely chop the red onion and fresh dill.
Add the celery, red bell pepper, red onion, and dill to the salmon in the bowl. Toss gently to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salmon mixture and use a spoon or fork to mix until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve immediately over a bed of baby spinach or mixed greens, or refrigerate for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
