8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality smoked salmon. Look for a brand that is sustainably sourced and has a good flavor. Buying a whole side of salmon is the most economical way to go, but you can also find pre-sliced smoked salmon at most grocery stores.
  • Use a food processor or blender. This will make it easy to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can use a fork or whisk, but it will take a bit longer.
  • Add some cream cheese or sour cream. This will help to make the spread more creamy and flavorful. You can also use Greek yogurt or cottage cheese, but they will result in a slightly tangier spread.
  • Season the spread to taste. Start off with a small amount of salt and pepper, and then add more to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as dill, capers, or lemon zest.
  • Serve the spread immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later. The spread will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the spread for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Smoked salmon spread is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It can be served on crackers or bread, used as a dip for vegetables or chips, or even spread on sandwiches or wraps. It's also a great addition to a brunch or party platter. No matter how you choose to serve it, smoked salmon spread is sure to be a hit!
