ROBIN'S SPICY ALASKAN SMOKED SALMON SPREAD
Everyone loves a good 'potluck' appetizer. Living in Alaska for 15 yrs, I had access to the best smoked red salmon. After many "pretty good" attempts, I finally tweaked this dip and/or sandwich spread to perfection. Great for potlucks, or tailgate parties. Easy for anyone to make!

Steps:
- 1. Utensils needed: Mixer (with medium sized mixing bowl), food processor, spatula, serving bowl. Preparation time: approximately 20 minutes or less

Tips:
- When choosing smoked salmon for your spread, look for high-quality fish that is firm and has a bright pink color. Avoid fish that is dry or has a grayish tint.
- If you are using canned smoked salmon, be sure to drain it well before adding it to your spread. This will help to prevent the spread from becoming too runny.
- Cream cheese is a common ingredient in smoked salmon spreads, but you can also use other types of cheese, such as ricotta or Neufchâtel. If you are using a softer cheese, you may need to add a little cornstarch or flour to help thicken the spread.
- For a creamy and tangy spread, add some sour cream or mayonnaise. You can also add some lemon juice or zest for a brighter flavor.
- Fresh herbs, such as dill, chives, or parsley, can add a pop of color and flavor to your spread. You can also add some chopped nuts or seeds for a crunchy texture.
- Serve your smoked salmon spread with crackers, bagel chips, or crostini. You can also use it as a sandwich spread or as a dip for vegetables.
Conclusion:
Smoked salmon spread is a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a creamy, tangy, and flavorful spread that will be enjoyed by everyone.
