Easy Pickled Salmon
My aunt Rachel/Rochie really has the best and easiest recipes. This is one of our family favorites and it just is a fantastic different way to serve salmon throughout the holiday.Â
There is just something about those creamy onions and that tangy salmon that hits the spot every time.Â

RECIPE:
For the Pickled Salmon
6-8 slices of salmon fillet
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 lemon juiced
2 tbsp. Salt
For the Final Onion Pickle Mixture:
2 large onions, sliced
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup vinegar
2 tbsp. Salt
1 lemon juiced
2/3 cup mayo

Instructions
In a pot add all your ingredients for the pickled salmon. Mix well. Lay your salmon in the pot and cover to cook for about 12-15 minutes on medium high.Â
While the salmon is cooking, add your sliced onions in a large Tupperware with a good lid.Â
Add the water, vinegar, sugar, and salt to the onions and mix well. In a separate bowl mix the mayo and lemon juice and pour over the onions and mix well. Then add your cooked salmon to the top of the onions. Use a spoon and cover the salmon with the onions and marinate as best as you can.Â
