Let me start by saying that I love leftovers. Both as a way to have a quick meal and because I hate food waste. I will be sharing more leftover transformation meals, but let me start with this fish salad that is essentially a twist in a tuna salad.
First of all you will need cooked fish. The night before I made baked white fish filets. I usually go simple salt, pepper, lemon and butter route, but this time I cooked the fish a touch too long so it was a bit dry and wasn’t a hit with my boys. This recipe will work great with any cooked boneless skinless fish filets, and if you prefer more elaborate seasoning it will just add extra flavor.
Flaked fish +mayo +diced onion
Is you house decided like mine? My husband swears by Miracle Whip and despises mayonnaise. I will have to be starving and literally out of any other options before I touch Miracle Whip, but I will add mayonnaise to almost anything. Therefor two variations here.
Flake fish up with a fork or with your hands, add your chosen add-ons and mix together. Since fish is already seasoned you shouldn’t need any additional salt or pepper, but if your taste buds feel different it’s always an easy fix.
Because my fish was on a dry side, I let both salads sit in the fridge for about an hour before serving to make sure it got nice and hydrated.
So here it is! From sad overcooked leftover to a delicious lunch!
