Ingredients
  

  • 2 salmon filets
  • 1/4 cup red onion minced
  • 1/4 cup celery finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup edamame
  • 1/4 cup dill chopped
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a bit of oil.
  • Cook the salmon fillets skin side down for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and the salmon is cooked through. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Remove from heat and carefully remove salmon skin from filets.
  • Preheat the broiler in your oven.
  • Place the salmon skin, skin side up, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Broil the salmon skin for 2-3 minutes until it is crispy and golden brown. Watch closely to prevent burning. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
  • Flake the cooked salmon fillets into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add minced red onion, chopped celery, edamame, and chopped dill to the bowl.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, juice from half a lemon, and garlic powder until well combined. Adjust the amount of lemon juice to taste.
  • Pour the mayonnaise dressing over the salmon and vegetable mixture. Gently toss until everything is evenly coated with the dressing. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  • Break the crispy salmon skin into smaller pieces and place it on top of the salad for an extra crunch.
  • Serve the salmon salad immediately and enjoy!
