Whitefish Salad Recipe

Whitefish Salad Recipe

This recipe makes a quick and easy appetizer. Instead of flaking the fish with a fork, we use a food processor to make it even easier. You can also try different variations to make it taste even better. Try this tasty fish spread recipe! We mix smoked whitefish with mayo, yogurt, and herbs to make a spread that's full of rich, smoky flavours with a hint of tanginess. The fresh herbs add a nice freshness and crunch. Enjoy it on a sliced bagel with cream cheese for a yummy sandwich!
