Wild Alaska smoked king salmon is flaked through a lemon-dill macaroni salad with cucumber, red onion and peas, dressed in a garlicky Greek yogurt sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 package Wild Alaska Smoked King Salmon
  • 1 package macaroni pasta or pasta of choice
  • olive oil, for tossing
  • ½ cup chopped cucumbers
  • ½ cup diced red onion
  • ½ cup green peas
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh dill
  • ¼ cup chopped green onion
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges, for serving

Dressing:

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 4 cloves minced garlic
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • salt & pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Thaw the Wild Alaska Smoked King Salmon and flake into bite-sized pieces.

  2. Cook pasta according to package. Add to a large bowl and toss with olive oil to prevent it from sticking together. Let cool to room temperature.

  3. Once the pasta is cool, add chopped cucumbers, red onion, peas, dill, and green onions. Toss together gently.

  4. In a medium sized bowl, add the dressing ingredients and whisk until well combined.

  5. Pour the dressing over the pasta salad and toss, then gently fold in the flaked smoked salmon.

  6. Squeeze the extra lemon wedges on top.

  7. Enjoy immediately or store in the fridge until ready to eat!
