Easy Baked Salmon Salad

Baked Salmon Salad is so versatile you can use it as an appetizer spread with crackers or you can use it as a spread for sandwiches.

What I love most about this Baked Salmon Salad Spread is that the flavor isn’t too fishy tasting, which for me can sometimes be a turnoff.

However, the mild flavor of this Salmon Salad Spread is balanced nicely with bright, fresh lemon zest, dried dill weed, and a touch of sweet pickle relish.

**Please Note – The printable recipe card with detailed instructions, complete ingredient measurements, and nutritional information for making Baked Salmon Salad is available near the end of this post. 

The ingredient list;

• Salmon Fillets
• Salt and Pepper
• Lemon Zest
• Old Bay Seafood Seasoning

If you’re intimidated by cooking fish, don’t be. Baking the salmon for this Baked Salmon Salad couldn’t be easier than placing the fish on a baking sheet, seasoning the fillets with salt and pepper and popping them into a preheated 375-degree oven for 15 minutes. Remove the fish from the oven, allow it to cool, and then flake it with a fork.

The easy instructions;

• Place the 1 pound of salmon fillets on a baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.
• Bake the fillets in a preheated 375-degree oven for 15 minutes.
• Remove the salmon from the oven and allow to cool before flaking it apart with a fork.

• Place the cooled, flaked fish in a medium-size bowl.
• Add the zest from one lemon, dried dill weed, and Old Bay seafood seasoning.

• Add mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish and garlic powder.
• Mix well to combine.
• Refrigerate for 2 hours to marry the flavors and then use the spread on crackers as an appetizer, or on your favorite bread for sandwiches.
