Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams cooked whitefish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock, or halibut)
- 60 grams Whole30-compliant mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard (Whole30-compliant)
- 2 units celery stalks, finely diced
- 0.5 unit red onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 4 cups mixed greens or lettuce leaves (optional, for serving)
Instructions
If the whitefish fillets are not already cooked, poach or bake them until just cooked through and allow them to cool completely.
Using a fork, flake the cooked whitefish into small pieces in a large mixing bowl, taking care to remove any bones or skin.
Add the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and dijon mustard to the bowl. Mix gently to coat the fish evenly.
Stir in the diced celery, diced red onion, and chopped fresh dill. Mix until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Season the salad with ground black pepper and sea salt to taste, adjusting as necessary.
Serve immediately on a bed of mixed greens or in lettuce wraps for a fresh and light presentation, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
