5-Minute Leftover Salmon Salad

April 1st, 2022

Repurpose Last Night’s Meal for a Healthy Lunch

This simple salmon salad is the perfect recipe for repurposing leftover fillets, a quick and easy mixture that you can scoop onto a salad, roll into a wrap, or layer onto sandwich bread. Just flake up leftover salmon, add a few flavorful ingredients, and you've got a punchy new meal.

Unlike typical fish salads, this salmon salad is made with greek yogurt instead of mayo for a slightly more protein-forward approach. If you’re following a keto diet, opt for a full fat yogurt. If you’re watching your calorie intake, you can use a lower fat yogurt.

I love this salmon salad as an alternative to canned tuna, since salmon is an amazing source of omega-3 fats, vitamin B12, vitamin D and protein. And unlike canned tuna, salmon is low in mercury.
