Need a creative idea for leftover salmon? Try my Salmon Piccata Salad! You'll love this dinner salad tossed with salmon and drizzled with two dressings!

Salmon Piccata Salad in dinner bowls garnished with lemon slices.

Salmon piccata salad is a lovely blend of greens, flaked salmon and two dressings that compliment each other in a flavorful way. It's been a month or so since I shared my Salmon Piccata recipe.  When I make salmon piccata I usually make enough to have leftovers for Salmon Piccata Salad the next day.  However, this recipe also works if you have leftover salmon from something else.   Reheating leftovers doesn't always go over well at my house, so being able to use leftovers and present them as a new dish is a plus!

Ingredients for Salmon Piccata Salad

For this recipe I mix both romaine and iceberg lettuces.  Lemon pepper seasoned salmon is preferable for this recipe but not required.  If you want lemon pepper salmon you can see how to prepare it from my Salmon Piccata recipe.  The first of the two dressing I use is warm piccata sauce.  You will need fresh lemon juice for the piccata sauce and I have recently tried an awesome kitchen gadget that will make squeezing those lemons soooo much easier.  Squeezing fresh lemon juice has always been more time consuming than I think it should be because I always need to strain out the pulp and seeds.  I had the opportunity to try the Lemon Lime Squeezer from Zulay Kitchens.  It is awesome!  It's made of metal instead of flimsy plastic and it's so easy to clean, which it important to me too.  Plus, I was able to quickly juice my lemons without having to strain the juice.  If you're interested in purchasing one click here!  You will not be disappointed!

The second dressing you need  is Brianna's French Vinaigrette and yes, it is a must because it pulls the lemon flavor in the piccata sauce out, enhances the capers and just adds an overall nice tang.  Without it your salad will be bland.  To build this dinner salad, toss the flaked salmon with the lettuces and drizzle with the piccata sauce and the french vinaigrette.  That's it! Enjoy your Salmon Piccata Salad!
