Smoked Salmon Salad with Mango & Avocado
Some days call for a whole production in the kitchen. Other days call for this salad.
If you've got a package of our wild Alaskan hot smoked salmon in the fridge, you are exactly 20 minutes away from one of the brightest, most refreshing meals in your rotation. Sweet mango, creamy avocado, juicy cherry tomatoes, and flaky smoked salmon come together with a citrusy-teriyaki finish that tastes like way more effort than it actually takes.
Why This Salad Works
Smoked salmon does a lot of heavy lifting here. It's already cooked, already seasoned, and packed with that rich, savory flavor that pairs perfectly with something sweet and something creamy. Add in juicy mango and buttery avocado, and you've got a bowl of contrasts, sweet, savory, creamy, bright, that somehow all make sense together.
It's the kind of recipe that feels indulgent but comes together almost embarrassingly fast, which makes it perfect for busy weeknights, lazy weekend lunches, or anytime you want something that feels special without turning on the oven.
What You'll Need
- Hot smoked Alaska salmon (about ½ cup, flaked)
- Diced avocado
- Diced mango
- Halved cherry tomatoes
- Teriyaki sauce
- White and black sesame seeds
- Fresh cilantro or your favorite herb
- A squeeze of lime or lemon
How to Make It
Start by prepping your produce... dice up the mango and avocado, and slice your cherry tomatoes in half. Arrange the mango and avocado on a plate, then flake in bite-sized pieces of the smoked salmon alongside the tomatoes. Finish it with a bright squeeze of lime or lemon, a drizzle of teriyaki sauce, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds and fresh herbs. That's it — serve it up right away and enjoy.
Make It Your Own
This salad is endlessly adaptable. Toss it over greens for a heartier lunch, wrap it in rice paper for fresh spring rolls, or pile it onto a bed of rice for a poke-inspired bowl. However you serve it, the smoked salmon is the star, and it's ready whenever you are, no thawing, no cooking, just open and enjoy.
