Directions
Place the red salmon in a glass bowl and squeeze fresh lemon juice over it. Give it a good mix so the flavors begin to blend. Next, add the golden raisins, chopped apple, and celery to the bowl. Dollop in some mayonnaise and sprinkle a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for a little kick. Stir everything together until all the ingredients are well combined and coated with the dressing. Taste and adjust any seasoning if needed before serving.
Best Ways To Serve

Storing Leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 1-2 days. To keep the fruits fresh, add any dressing just before serving rather than in advance.
