Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams whitefish fillets (such as cod or haddock), cooked and flaked
- 120 grams low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
- 0.5 medium red onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by cooking the whitefish fillets if they are not already pre-cooked. Poach, steam, or bake the fillets until they are tender and opaque. Allow to cool, then flake into small pieces with a fork.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and flaked whitefish, low-fat Greek yogurt, finely chopped celery, diced red onion, and fresh dill.
Add the lemon juice and Dijon mustard to the bowl. Stir the mixture gently until everything is evenly combined.
Season the salad with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the low-fat whitefish salad on whole-grain bread, in lettuce wraps, or use it as a dip for crackers and vegetables.
