Ingredients

Scale

For the aioli:

  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup olive oil oil 
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the salmon salad:

  • 1 can of salmon, drained and flaked
  • 4 radishes, thinly sliced
  • 2 stalks of celery, thinly sliced
  • 1 small fennel bulb, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives
  • 2 tablespoons chopped scallions
  • 1/4 cup homemade aioli, more or less to your liking
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Bread or toast, for serving

Instructions

To make the mayo:

  1. In a tall and narrow container, such as a mason jar or a measuring cup, add the egg yolk, dijon mustard, and lemon juice.
  2. Pour the oil on top of the egg yolk mixture, making sure that the oil completely covers the egg yolk.
  3. Place an immersion blender at the bottom of the container and blend on high speed for about 5-10 seconds. Once the mixture starts to emulsify, slowly lift the immersion blender towards the top, until the mixture is completely emulsified and has thickened to the consistency of mayonnaise.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

To make the salmon salad:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the salmon, radishes, celery, fennel, chives, and scallions.
  2. Add the aioli to the salmon mixture and toss to combine.
  3. Serve the salmon salad on toast or a bed of greens (or both). Enjoy!
