With summer comes warm temps and the desire to scale down to lighter, fresher, and easier meals. These Salmon Salad Sandwiches fit the bill perfectly. I’ve had this recipe on regular rotation over the past couple of months, along with my Napa Almond Chicken Salad, Lemon Pepper Tuna and Classic Egg Salad, so that I can keep my fridge stocked with easy, make-ahead lunches.

I regularly serve sandwiches paired with one of my easy soup recipes for dinner too. This has long been one of my go-to strategies for making life and dinner easier!

Ingredients

Canned pink salmon, celery, onion, and more ingredients for making salmon salad on a white surface with text overlay.
  • Use canned salmon and dried dill to make this a pantry staple recipe that can be quickly and easily made anytime the craving strikes. Look for canned wild pink salmon near the canned tuna at the grocery store.
  • Fresh dill can be used but it is a far more expensive option than keeping a jar of dried dill in your pantry. But, if you’re growing fresh dill in your garden this year, use it!

The Bread and Toppings

  • We love to serve it on sliced focaccia or ciabatta but any sturdy sliced bread you love will work well.
  • Layer your sandwiches with thin-sliced cucumber, tomato and lettuce to add a burst of freshness and texture.

Instructions

The ingredients in a glass mixing bowl with a white plastic spatula.
  • Combine the drained canned salmon, mayonnaise, diced celery, sliced green onion, dried dill, salt, and lemon juice in a mixing bowl.
  • Spread on the sandwich bread of your choice and add the toppings you love.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use it within 3 to 4 days for the best quality.

FAQS and Cook’s Tips

Can I use fresh salmon to make Salmon Salad?

Canned salmon works very well for making this recipe but the same amount of cooked and chilled salmon may be substituted for the canned salmon if you’d like. If you’ve got leftovers, this is a great way to use them!

Is canned salmon good for you?

Canned salmon is a powerhouse when it comes to nutrition. It is rich in protein, vitamin D, calcium and Omega-3 heart healthy fats.To be sure that you have safe, sustainable fish be sure you choose a can that is labeled “wild” salmon.

Is canned salmon expensive?

Canned wild pink salmon is very affordable when compared to fresh salmon but the price can vary depending on the brand. Costco sells a 6-pack of canned Wild Alaskan Pink Salmon for a price that is hard to beat. Wild Planet is a very high quality brand that will be on the higher end of the price range.
