Ingredients
  

  • 6 oz can boneless, skinless salmon, no salt added
  • 1 Tbsp mayonnaise (I like Sir Kensington's)
  • 2 Tbsp dijon mustard (I like Sir Kensington's)
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
  • 1/4 cup finely diced shallot (red or yellow onion will also work)
  • 1/4 cup finely diced cucumber

Method
 

  1. Drain the liquid from the can of salmon, and use a fork to flake it and break it up in a medium bowl.
  2. Add the mayonnaise and dijon mustard to the salmon; mix well to combine.
  3. Add the smoked paprika and the lemon pepper to the salmon mixture; mix well to combine.
  4. Add in the diced shallot and cucumber; mix well to combine.
  5. Serve the salmon salad on toasted bread or with crackers. Can be stored covered in the refrigerator and eaten within three days of making it.
