Fresh Marinated Salmon Salad with Lemon and Dill

When the temperatures rise, our taste in food naturally shifts toward lighter, fresher dishes. Marinated salmon, inspired by Nordic gravlax traditions, offers a refined solution for summer dining. Its silky texture and bright citrus-dill flavor make it ideal for gourmet salads. Paired with crisp greens and creamy avocado, this dish is not only refreshing but also rich in omega-3, making it a perfect choice for healthy, elegant meals during warm-weather gatherings or sunny picnics.
