Hot-Smoked Salmon with Salted Yoghurt and Fennel

This elegant hot-smoked salmon with salted yogurt and fennel is a vibrant choice for a nutritious lunch or a light starter. The dish balances the rich, oily flakes of the fish with a sharp, creamy yogurt base and a hit of acidity from the lemon and capers. The addition of raw fennel provides a lovely crunch and a subtle aniseed flavour that cuts through the saltiness of the smoke beautifully.

As a heart-healthy recipe, this meal is packed with omega-3 fatty acids and protein, making it as beneficial as it is delicious. It is incredibly simple to assemble, requiring no actual cooking, which makes it an ideal option for stress-free entertaining. Serve it as a standalone salad or alongside some crusty sourdough bread to soak up the zingy mustard dressing.

Ingredients for Hot-Smoked Salmon with Salted Yoghurt and Fennel

  • 240ml plain whole-milk Greek yoghurt

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided

  • Kosher salt

  • 45ml whole grain mustard

  • 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped capers

  • 45ml extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more for drizzling

  • 900g hot-smoked salmon

How to make Hot-Smoked Salmon with Salted Yoghurt and Fennel

Mix yoghurt and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a small bowl; season with salt.

Mix mustard, capers, and 2 tablespoons oil in another small bowl. Set dressing aside.

Cut fennel stems away from bulb, then cut fronds away from stems; you’ll use each part, but they’re prepped separately. Thinly slice stems crosswise and place in a medium bowl. Coarsely tear fennel fronds until you have about 240ml and add to bowl. Remove tough outer layers from fennel bulb; discard. Slice bulb in half, then thinly slice crosswise; add to bowl. Add 1 tablespoon oil and remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice, season with salt, and toss to coat.

Divide seasoned yoghurt among plates and use a spoon to spread it out. Using your hands, break salmon into big flakes and arrange over yoghurt. Spoon mustard dressing over salmon and scatter fennel salad on top. Drizzle with more oil and season with lots of pepper.
