What to add to salmon fish packs

[tom lakner]

Last summer all of my mayo packs turned to oil  while trekking along. I usually mix packets of salmon with mayo and some herbs to make a wrap for lunch.

I had a packet of some kinda dressing that i used instead and it was delish! Being older, I forgot to write down what it was. After muich searching i’ve given up and am now asking what others are using to mix with their fish ,if anything at all, for their wraps . I try to keep it light weight wise but food needs to be tasty also.

Anyone have advice?

Thanks!

I buy the smoked trout packed in oil.  I find it very flavorful on its own and doesn’t need any add-ins.

Ranch dressing?

I’ve been known to carry a bit of cream cheese and a mini ziploc of capers for this purpose as well.

Lemon pepper, dill, and a relish packet or two.

I use those mayo packs all the time and haven’t had any turning into oil issues. Maybe you had a bad/old batch?

Any of many salad dressing packets that are shelf stable are great. Minimus carries tons!

I’ve used different brands at different times and all turn oily. I give up on them.I’m going to try some of the suggestions received here. Thanks to all who replied!

Smoked salmon is the way to go!

• Mustard
• Furikake sprinkles

I don’t care for salmon but foil packs of tuna are delightful with crushed Triscuits or sunflower seeds and a little extra olive oil.

Fast food restaurant “honey mustard” dipping sauce.

Had to introduce some Australian thru-hikers to Chipotle-Mango salmon packs (they call them “sachets”) last year.  They were amazed, but with packaged foods, anything is possible in America.
