Salmon salad is one of my favorite quick recipes that packs a powerful nutritional punch. You can throw it together quickly and it is bursting with flavor and also so healthy.

Ingredients

1 (14.75 oz) can of Wild Caught Alaskan Salmon
½ cup homemade mayo or store-bought mayo
Juice of 1 lemon
1-2 jalapeño peppers, finely chopped (make your own pickled jalapeños)
3″ piece of fresh ginger, peeled
4 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed with a press
1 bunch fresh dill, finely chopped
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 heads baby gem lettuce (or butter lettuce or remain lettuce)

Instructions

Drain the canned salmon and dump it into a mixing bowl, and add the mayonnaise and the lemon juice.
Finely chop the jalapeños and add them too.
Next, add the fresh ginger and fresh garlic. Both should be finely minced. (I like to grate the ginger and use a garlic press to crush the garlic to achieve the best texture.)
Add the minced ginger and crushed garlic to the bowl of salmon.
Finely chop the dill and add this too.
Mix well to combine, seasoning the mixture with salt and pepper.
I love to scoop these into individually separated leaves of baby gem lettuce for a fun take on lettuce wraps! If you choose to do this, you should know that they make for a lovely, fresh appetizer option at your next BBQ - and you should have enough for 14 lettuce wraps. Delicious!
