- 2 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
- ¼ cup fennel bulb, finely diced

Instructions

Make the dill sauce: stir together the yogurt, 2 tbsp fresh dill, 1/2 tsp grated ginger, and 1/4 tsp salt in a small bowl until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors develop.

Place the salmon chunks in a food processor and pulse 8–10 times until the fish is coarsely chopped — you want a rough, chunky texture with some larger pieces remaining, not a smooth paste.
