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



Smoked Salmon Spread image

Typically we serve this spread with breadsticks or crackers. But for a delicious change, put a spoonful onto some thick grilled slices of sourdough bread, then top it with a squirt of lemon and a few grinds of pepper. The creamy, pale pink spread, melting into the crevices of the crunchy toast is irresistible.

EVERYTHING-BAGEL SMOKED SALMON DIP



Everything-Bagel Smoked Salmon Dip image

Reminiscent of whitefish salad, smoked trout spread and everything bagels with lox, this creamy dip combines hot-smoked fish, yogurt, everything bagel seasoning, fresh dill and lemon. It can be eaten with crisp and fresh accompaniments, such as bagel chips, cucumbers and tomatoes. Or, enjoy it in a sandwich or as a salad scooped onto a bed of greens. Feel free to add capers, horseradish, chopped celery or red onion or anything you like in your tuna salad or on your bagel, but taste before adding: The fish and everything bagel seasoning provide plenty of flavor on their own.

Categories     dips and spreads

Time 5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups full-fat plain Greek yogurt (12 ounces)
8 ounces hot-smoked trout or salmon fillets, skin and bones removed, fish flaked into small pieces (see Tip)
1/4 cup thinly sliced dill fronds and stems, plus more for serving
2 teaspoons lemon zest (from 1 large lemon)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons everything-bagel seasoning (store-bought or homemade), plus more for serving
Black pepper
Raw or pickled vegetables, such as cucumbers, radishes and tomatoes; chips or crackers; gigante beans or hard-boiled eggs, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the yogurt, trout, dill, lemon zest and juice and everything-bagel seasoning. Season with black pepper. (The fish and bagel seasoning are both salty, so you likely won't need additional salt.)
  • Spoon into a serving bowl and top with more everything-bagel seasoning, black pepper and dill. Eat with any mix of dippers. (It keeps in the fridge for up to 4 days, but season again with lemon, salt and pepper before eating.)

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh or smoked salmon that is of high quality. Look for salmon that is firm and has a bright color.
  • Prepare the salmon: If using fresh salmon, cook it until it is just cooked through. If using smoked salmon, flake it into small pieces.
  • Use a variety of ingredients: In addition to salmon, you can add a variety of other ingredients to your spread, such as cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped vegetables, herbs, and spices.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to season your spread to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as lemon juice, dill, or capers.
  • Chill before serving: For the best flavor, chill your spread for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Fresh and 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 customized to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy recipe, give this salmon spread a try.
