SMOKED SALMON SPREAD



Smoked Salmon Spread image

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:

  • Use fresh, high-quality salmon: The quality of your salmon will greatly impact the flavor of your spread. Look for salmon that is firm and has a bright, vibrant color.
  • Don't overcook the salmon: Overcooked salmon will be dry and crumbly. Cook it just until it is opaque and flaky.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: Herbs and spices will add flavor and depth to your spread. Some good options include dill, parsley, lemon zest, and capers.
  • Use a good quality cream cheese: The cream cheese will help to bind the spread together and give it a creamy texture. Look for a cream cheese that is full-fat and has a smooth, spreadable consistency.
  • Chill the spread before serving: Chilling the spread will help it to firm up and make it easier to spread. You can chill it for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.

Conclusion:

Salmon spread is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed on a variety of occasions. It is perfect for parties, potlucks, or simply as a snack. With its creamy texture, smoky flavor, and bright, vibrant color, salmon spread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
