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 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.
Ingredients
- 7 oz baby spinach leaves
- 4 hot-smoked salmon fillets (around 4.2 oz) (we use Butcher Box seafood)
- ½ red onion, very thinly sliced
- Squeeze fresh lemon/lemon wedges
- Sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- For the dressing:
- 5.6 oz Greek-style plain yogurt
- 2 tsp wholegrain mustard
- 2 TB olive oil, plus extra to drizzle over the spinach
- 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.
- Squeeze on the lemon juice or serve with lemon wedges. Season with salt and pepper.
- Make a quick dressing by whisking together the yogurt, mustard, and olive oil in a bowl. Stir in the chopped dill.
- Divide the dressing between the four salads by drizzling it over the salmon. Drizzle a little extra olive oil over the spinach and finish with a garnish of dill fronds.
