1

Gather Ingredients

Gather all the necessary ingredients for the recipe.
2

Prepare the Whitefish

Carefully peel the skin off the whitefish, which will lift off easily. Using clean fingers or a fork, pull the fish off the bones and transfer it to a medium-sized bowl. Shred the fish into smaller pieces with a fork, making sure to remove any small bones you encounter.
3

Mix Ingredients

Add 1/3 cup of mayonnaise, along with the celery, dill, and lemon juice to the bowl. Mix thoroughly. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasonings as desired, adding more mayonnaise for a creamier or milder flavor.

With its flashy salmon hue and silky texture, lox usually gets the most bagel pairing attention. But if you haven't tried whitefish salad, you're missing out on a worthy topper not just for bagels, but for everything from challah or crackers to crudités. Its humble look belies a rich, smoky flavor, punctuated by the crunch of celery and the bright flavors of fresh dill and a hint of lemon. It's quick and easy to make, too -- perfect for when you want a simple yet sophisticated upgrade from tuna salad.

Where to Find Smoked Whitefish: Bagel shops and Jewish delis often carry whitefish, as do some supermarkets, fishmongers, and warehouse clubs, like Costco or BJs. Brooklyn-based Acme Smoked Fish has a helpful store locator on its website, which can help you track down its kosher-certified whitefish.

Variations

Try fresh chives or parsley in place of the dill, or opt for a mix of all three.
For a little bite, add finely minced red onion.
For a smoother, more spreadable salad, omit the celery, and increase the mayonnaise. Mix very well to break down the fish into smaller pieces.
For more lemon flavor, add a bit of finely grated zest along with the lemon juice.
For dairy meals, try replacing half or all of the mayonnaise with sour cream.

How to Serve:

As a meal: Whether for fancy brunches or casual weekday meals, whitefish salad is a natural fit: serve it on bagels with lettuce, tomato, and red onion, alongside omelets, or roll it into a wrap with cucumber, tomato, carrot, and/or bell pepper.

As an appetizer or hors d'oeuvres: Whitefish salad makes great party fare. Offer it on crackers, toast points, or blini, or alongside a platter of crudités. Or spoon it on cucumber or radish slices, or into halved cherry tomatoes. As a plated appetizer, try it with a salad of fanned avocado slices and supremed grapefruit or orange sections.

On the Passover Table:

If you make it with kosher-for-Passover mayonnaise, this whitefish salad makes a great option for brunch or lunch during the holiday. Serve it on matzo or Passover rolls. Or for totally gluten-free options, wrap it in lettuce leaves, or roll it up into thin strips of cucumber (use a mandoline or vegetable peeler to make lengthwise slices), à la sushi rolls.
