Dilled Salmon Salad Recipe
- 1 (20-ounce) skin-on salmon fillet, pin bones removed
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/3 cup small-dice red onion
- 3 tablespoons champagne vinegar
- 3/4 cup small-dice celery
- 1/4 cup creme fraiche
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh dill
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place the salmon skin-side down on the foil.
- Drizzle the oil over the salmon, rub it into an even layer with your fingers, and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Bake the salmon until its just opaque all the way through or the center of the thickest part of the fillet registers 135 degrees F to 140 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 10 to 17 minutes.
- Using a flat spatula to get between the skin and the flesh, lift up the salmon and transfer it to a plate, leaving the skin behind.
- (Its OK if the salmon falls apart a little bit.)
- Discard the foil and skin.
- Let the salmon cool slightly at room temperature, about 5 minutes.
- Refrigerate uncovered until completely chilled, at least 2 hours.
- (If youre not using it right away, cover the chilled salmon and refrigerate it up to 24 hours.)
- Stir together the onion and vinegar in a large, nonreactive bowl and let it sit for 15 minutes.
- Using your hands, flake the chilled salmon into bite-size pieces and place them in the bowl with the onion-vinegar mixture.
- Add the remaining ingredients and gently stir to combine, being careful not to break up the salmon too much.
- Taste and season with additional salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve immediately or chill for up to 4 hours.
