In Finland, salad can mean many things, from the usual green salad to this one with sour cream, and even lettuce.
Lohisalaatti = salmon salad, which is often a green salad with grilled salmon on top, is also lohisalaatti when it is dressed with sour cream. Sienisalaatti = Mushroom Salad is usually made with sour cream and is called lohisalaatti.

NOTES
*1In Finland, the crab fishcake, Kanikama in Japanese, are sold as “Surimi”, it means grounded fish meat in Japanese. Some are the same as Japanese kanikama, and some are shaped like shrimp. I used to wonder why they put crab fishcakes in commercial lohisalaatti, but when I made it myself, I understood. The smoked salmon and sour cream alone made the salmon smell fishy. For some reason, the crab fishcake eased the fishy smell, and added a delicious flavor. It was an unexpected discovery.*2Dill is very light, so it’s hard to put a weight on it. If you follow the recipe, you should be able to hold a pile of fresh dill in one hand. Finnish people love dill. I’ve seen a lot of recipes that say to use as much as you like.
