Hot Smoked Salmon Spinach Salad
This is a very quick salad that is packed with nutrients and good fats. I like the freshness (and gut-friendliness) of using yogurt in the dressing, but sour cream or crème fraiche would be good alternatives.
Chef Tips:
- Baby spinach is a delicious option here, but any lettuce will do.
- Hot-smoked salmon and dill pair so beautifully together. If you cannot source hot-smoked salmon, you can also use cold-smoked salmon or regular-cooked salmon fillets.
Hot Smoked Salmon Spinach Salad
Hot Smoked Salmon Spinach Salad is a delightful and healthy dish featuring tender spinach leaves, rich hot smoked salmon, and red onions, all drizzled with creamy yogurt, mustard, and dill dressing.
Equipment

- For the dressing:
- 5.6 oz Greek-style plain yogurt
- 2 tsp wholegrain mustard

- 4 tsp finely chopped dill plus extra small sprigs to serve
Instructions
- Arrange the spinach leaves, salmon fillets, and sliced onion between four salad bowls.
