Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb smoked whitefish
- 2 celery stalks
- 1 small red onion
- 2 dill pickles
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp salt
Instructions
Start by deboning the smoked whitefish. Use your fingers to gently pull the flesh away from the bones. Ensure all the small bones are removed. Place the fish in a medium mixing bowl.
Dice the celery stalks, red onion, and dill pickles into small, uniform pieces. Add them to the bowl with the whitefish.
Add the chopped fresh dill to the bowl for a burst of herby aroma.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, black pepper, and salt until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the fish and vegetables in the bowl.
Using a fork, gently combine the ingredients, making sure the whitefish is well-coated with the dressing and evenly mixed with the vegetables.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with more lemon juice, salt, or black pepper if desired.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Serve chilled on bagels, crackers, or as a sandwich filling. Garnish with extra dill, if desired.
