SMOKED SALMON DIP

This elegant smoked salmon dip is delicious on crackers -- or serve it on a brunch buffet with bagels.

Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Appetizers

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup (8 ounces) cream cheese
¼ cup sour cream
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons capers, drained
¼ teaspoon Tasbasco
4 ounces smoked salmon, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons fresh chopped dill
2 tablespoons fresh chopped chives
Salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, capers, and Tabasco in a food processor fitted with the metal blade; pulse until blended. Add the salmon, dill and chives and pulse, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary, until the salmon is finely chopped. Taste and add salt, if necessary (I usually add about ¼ teaspoon, but it depends on the saltiness of the smoked salmon). Serve as a dip with crackers or bagel chips, or as a spread with bagels.
  • Make ahead: This dip can be made a few days ahead of time. However, it gets quite firm in the fridge so let it sit out at room temperature before serving, otherwise it will be hard to scoop.

SMOKED SALMON SPREAD

A delicious and easy spread that always gets many compliments. Serve it with somewhat bland crackers to taste the smoked salmon. You can add some chopped capers for more flavor, if needed. I usually serve this on a nice plate and put the spread in a mold before serving.

Tips for the Best Smoked Salmon Spread Dip

  • Use high-quality smoked salmon: The quality of the smoked salmon you use will greatly impact the taste of your dip. Look for a brand that uses wild-caught salmon and has a good smoke flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dip: Overmixing the dip will make it tough and rubbery. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Let the dip chill before serving: Chilling the dip allows the flavors to meld and makes it easier to spread.
  • Serve the dip with a variety of accompaniments: Smoked salmon spread dip is delicious served with crackers, bread, vegetables, or chips. You can also use it as a sandwich spread or a bagel topping.
