Easy Chilled Poached Salmon Salad

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I have been making this Easy Chilled Poached Salmon Salad in various forms for years. Since I’m not a fan of mayonnaise, you tend to experiment with different methods to come up with something versatile to make and eat. Here it is! It’s crunchy, tasty, lemony, fresh and healthy. It strikes a lot of notes for us. I serve this on baby greens with a Wasa cracker for a healthy lunch or dinner.

Easy Poached Chilled Salmon Salad

My husband and I are not big fans of mayonnaise. We do eat it but in very limited amounts..we are just not fans of the taste. This salad came about on a Saturday afternoon when you need a light lunch and you just want something different.

Poaching salmon

First I start by poaching salmon. I have a step by step tutorial on the recipe for my Salmon Caper Orzo Salad. I poach the salmon in some white wine, butter and dill.

Poaching salmon

Poach until cooked. Remove from pan and allow to cool. Once cooled, you can start flaking the fish.

Once the salmon is cooled, flaked, it’s ready to go.

For this Easy Chilled Poached Salmon Salad, I simply used Lemon juice and olive oil. What I prefer to use is my Easy Lemon Dijon Dressing or Trader Joe’s Orange Muscat Champagne Vinegar with some olive oil. There is so much flexibility though, you can use any light vinegar with this and will turn out beautifully.
