Tahini Salmon Salad - Packaged to Plate
Paris Klees
Packaged to Plate: a series for all of us who cannot safely eat fast food but still deserve quick and delicious meals.
I love tinned tuna and have eaten it as long as I can remember, so why was I so surprised to learn that I love tinned salmon? I had never thought about it before until I was looking at tinned fish at Trader Joe's, inspired by Justine Doiron's love for it, and there it was! A cute little pink tin of salmon.
This salmon salad is much like my other recipes, highly customizable based on your preferences or what you have on hand. I hope you try it and find some fun new combinations!

GLUTEN FREE - DAIRY FREE - LOW FODMAP RECIPE
Max one serving to remain low FODMAP
Ingredients:
- 2 cans of tinned salmon
- 3 mini peppers
- 3 tbsp tahini
- 1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp dill
- 3 tbsp capers
- salt
INSTRUCTIONS:
Salmon Salad Instructions:
- Wash mini peppers and dill in a solution of water and vinegar and set aside.
- Remove the salmon from the tins and add it to a mixing bowl.
- Finely chop the dill and dice the mini peppers into small pieces. Add both to the bowl with the salmon.
- Add capers and a pinch of salt.
Tahini Dressing Instructions:
- The trick with tahini is to mix until your arm hurts and to add water slowly.
- In a small mixing bowl, add the tahini, garlic, and lemon.
- Using a fork or whisk, mix until combined and starts to thicken. This will happen quickly.
- As it thickens, slowly add in cold water, a little at a time, mixing between each addition.
- Keep going until the tahini reaches your desired consistency. And then mix some more!
Putting the Recipe Together:
- Pour the tahini into the salmon bowl and mix until everything is evenly coated.
- I had this salad with crackers, but it's also great in a sandwich, salad bowl, or stuffed into a pita.
- Enjoy!
