Description

Elevate canned salmon with a quick, creamy Smoky Roasted Red Pepper Aioli. This easy recipe transforms simple ingredients into a flavorful meal, perfect for a high-protein lunch or light dinner, ready in minutes with a brief chill time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz canned salmon (boneless, skinless), drained
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (or plain Greek yogurt)
  • 1/2 cup roasted red peppers (drained)
  • 1/2 cup finely diced celery
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
  • 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 1 Tbsp capers, rinsed and chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Crisp lettuce leaves for serving
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Flake Salmon: Gently flake the drained canned salmon into a medium mixing bowl. Add the diced celery, red onion, and optional capers.
  2. Prepare Aioli: In a separate small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, minced roasted red peppers, smoked paprika, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Spoon about two-thirds of the prepared aioli over the salmon mixture. Gently fold until evenly coated, being careful not to overmix. Reserve remaining aioli for serving.
  4. Chill Salad: Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld and chill thoroughly.
  5. Serve: Serve the chilled salmon salad on a bed of crisp lettuce leaves or in lettuce cups. Drizzle with the reserved aioli and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

For the best flavor and texture, make sure to chill the salad for at least 20 minutes before serving. The aioli can be made with plain Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a healthier option. Smoked paprika is essential for the recipe’s intended flavor profile.
