Ingredients.
•1 pound picked salmon meat
•3 tablespoons mayonnaise
•1 teaspoon mustard
•1 tablespoon capers
•1/4 cup chopped onion
•2 tablespoons chopped parsley
•1 large garlic clove, minced
•Hot sauce to taste
•Salt and pepper
Method.
1.Start by grilling the salmon. Get your grill hot and make sure the grates are clean. Coat the bones and bellies in a little vegetable oil and salt them well. Once the grill is hot, grill the salmon for about 5 to 10 minutes per side. You want a little charring going on. Set the salmon racks on a baking sheet to cool.
2.Once the meat is cool enough to handle, strip all the meat off the bones. One tip to remember when doing this is that the bones all point in the same direction, so you can often get big boneless pieces off in one swipe. Set the meat into a large bowl. When you are done, pick through it and check for any stray bones or globs of fat. (Secret trick: I break off the brittle ends of the charred fins and crumble them into the salad. This adds a charred, grilled taste that’s hard to get any other way.)
3.Add all the other ingredients and mix well. Adjust salt and hot sauce to taste and serve either at room temperature or chilled.
