Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.

For serving

8 large butter lettuce leaves
1 avocado, sliced (optional)
lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Make the lemon-herb sauce: whisk together the parsley, extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, grated ginger, and sea salt in a small bowl until combined. Set aside.
2
Place half the salmon chunks in a food processor and pulse 4–5 times until roughly chopped but not a paste — you want visible pieces about 1/4 inch. Transfer to a mixing bowl. Add the remaining salmon chunks and pulse the same way, then add to the bowl.
