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.

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 ounces cream cheese
2 ounces fresh goat cheese
3 tablespoons prepared beet horseradish
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
1 pound hot-smoked salmon, skin removed, flaked, divided

1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup drained capers, chopped
3 tablespoons finely chopped chives
2 Belgian endives, leaves separated
Bagel chips or pumpernickel bread (for serving)

Steps:

  • Line a 6"-diameter ring mold, 6"-diameter cake pan or springform pan, or 16-oz. ramekin with plastic wrap, pressing it along the bottom and up the sides (you can also use a small bowl, but the layers won't be quite as even). Pulse cream cheese, goat cheese, horseradish, and lemon zest in a food processor until well combined and creamy.
  • Press a third of smoked salmon into an even layer across the bottom of mold. Spread half of cream cheese mixture evenly over salmon, smoothing surface with a rubber spatula.
  • Toss radishes and onion in a small bowl to combine, then scatter over cream cheese mixture and press down lightly into mixture. Top with half of remaining salmon, making an even layer, then scatter capers over. Spread remaining cream cheese mixture over capers and finish with a final layer of the remaining salmon. Cover dip with plastic wrap and chill at least 1 hour to let dip set and flavors meld.
  • Uncover dip and carefully invert onto a plate. Remove ring mold, then carefully peel away plastic. Top with chives. Serve with endives and bagel chips for spreading over.

Tips:

  • Using high-quality smoked salmon is key to a flavorful dip. Look for wild-caught salmon that has been cold-smoked for the best results.
  • If you don't have softened cream cheese, you can soften it quickly by microwaving it for 10-15 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until it is softened.
  • To make the dip ahead of time, prepare it up to 2 days in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When you are ready to serve, let it come to room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
  • Serve the dip with a variety of crackers, vegetables, and bread. Some popular options include crostini, bagel chips, pita chips, carrot sticks, celery sticks, and cucumber slices.
  • For a more elegant presentation, pipe the dip into small serving cups or ramekins. You can also garnish the dip with fresh dill, chives, or capers.
