I have a natural disposition for whitefish salad passed down my maternal bloodline. I remember eating it on the subway, on the street as I walked, and in the car straight from the cup holder. My mom eats it with her bare hands- no vessel. it’s so good you have to. Personally I like it with fancy crackers.

Slap some on a piece of matzo with cucumber and a smear of yellow mustard. Surely I did not invent this combo, but it is divine and a top tier snack / light meal.

I eat this year-round, but honestly it’s such a refreshing summery-type snack/light lunch that’s super easy to prep.
The sweetness from the apples compliments perfectly with the smokey-saltiness of the salmon and the dollop of sour cream adds a lovely freshness to it all.

At the risk of sounding like your grandmother, I believe everyone should have a signature and impressive dish. For me, that is gravlax. Gravlax is the less briny, less saturated, and infinitely more elegant girlfriend of lox. Unlike lox which are smoked and pungent, gravlax is cured, creating a buttery texture and extremely fresh flavor. It is closer to sashimi and is stupidly simple to make. Here is the recipe, originally culled from the Silver Palate Cookbook but since bastardized by my mom:In a tupperware place one filet skin side down, cover with half of the salt/sugar mixture, place dill on top. Generously crack black pepper and put the other filet of salmon skin side up. This creates a sandwich effect. Add the rest of the sugar/salt mixture on top and pop the lid on the tupperware to really smush everything together. Each day, for the next three days, take it out of the fridge and flip the filets, redistributing the liquids that have formed with a spoon. On the third day it is ready to be sliced thinly with a sharp knife and eaten on a bagel, or over a burial plot of arugula.I have taught it to every roommate, boyfriend, girlfriend, roommate’s boyfriend, roommate’s boyfriend’s roommate, and culinarily curious friend I have. People beg for it, I promise!
