The Best Whitefish Salad Recipe
Celery and red onion add crunch to this whitefish salad enriched with mayonnaise, sour cream, and a hard-boiled egg, while fresh dill and lemon brighten the salty, smoky fish. Serve it as a spread for matzo, or on a toasted bagel half topped with tomato and onion slices.
This recipe is adapted from the now-closed Wolfie Cohen’s Rascal House, a beloved Jewish deli and local institution in Sunny Isles, Florida.
Ingredients
½ small red onion, finely chopped
1 lb. smoked whitefish or trout, skin and bones removed
⅓ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup sour cream
1 Tbsp. finely chopped dill
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
Instructions
To a small bowl, add the onion and enough cold water to cover. Set aside to soak for 15 minutes, then drain.
Using a fork, flake the fish into a medium bowl. Add the onion, mayonnaise, sour cream, dill, lemon juice, celery, and egg and stir to combine. Season to taste with black pepper. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
