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. It’s just plain delicious no matter how you serve it!

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.

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.

Baking the salmon for this easy seafood recipe 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 them to cool, and then flake with a fork.

How long will it take to make this recipe?

Approximately 20 minutes.

15 minutes to cook the salmon and 5 minutes to do the mixing.

I like to chill it at least 1 hour for the flavors to combine, but longer is never a problem.

Yes. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
