Instructions

Flake the cooled baked salmon into a medium bowl with two forks and remove any remaining pin bones.
Chop the celery, red onion, radishes, and herbs into small, uniform pieces and add them to the bowl with the salmon.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream (or Greek yogurt), lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Pour the dressing over the salmon and vegetables, gently folding to combine while keeping large flakes of salmon intact.
Taste and adjust seasoning, serving chilled or letting the salad rest at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving.

Notes

For fewer calories, consider using Greek yogurt instead of cream. Adjust seasoning based on taste, and serve with complementary sides for added texture.
