SPICY SALMON SPREAD WITH PICKLED CURRANTS



Spicy Salmon Spread with Pickled Currants image

Nduja-a spicy, spreadable, Italian sausage-is traditionally made with pork. Because salmon is a fatty fish, it works well too for this appetizer.

Yield Makes about 1 2/3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (7-ounce) skinless salmon fillet, pin bones removed, finely chopped
8 oil-packed Calabrian chiles or 1 fresh Fresno chile, finely chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 teaspoons hot smoked Spanish paprika
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 cup dried currants
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
Caraway crackers, dill sprigs, and thinly sliced chives (for serving)
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Place salmon in a blender. Bring chiles, cream, butter, paprika, and kosher salt to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring to melt butter (adjust heat if needed to keep mixture from boiling over). Immediately pour into blender and blend on low speed to combine. Increase speed and blend until mixture is thick and emulsified (it should be smooth and spreadable). Transfer nduja to an airtight container; cover and chill until set, 1 1/2-2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, place currants in a small bowl. Bring vinegar to a simmer in a small saucepan and pour over currants; let sit until plumped, about 30 minutes. Drain currants.
  • Spread nduja onto crackers and top with dill, chives, and pickled currants. Sprinkle with sea salt.
  • Nduja can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.

Tips:

  • Ensure that the salmon is cooked thoroughly before making the spread to prevent the risk of foodborne illness.
  • If you don't have cream cheese, you can substitute it with sour cream, Greek yogurt, or avocado for a healthier option.
  • To add a tangy flavor, consider adding lemon juice, capers, or dill to the spread.
  • For a smoky flavor, use smoked salmon instead of regular salmon.
  • For a spicy kick, add some finely chopped jalapeno or cayenne pepper to the mix.
  • Experiment with different herbs and spices to create unique flavor combinations.
  • Serve the spread on crackers, bread, or bagel chips for a quick and easy snack or appetizer.

Conclusion:

Salmon spread is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. With its creamy texture, rich flavor, and endless customization options, it's a perfect addition to any party or gathering. Whether you're a fan of classic flavors or prefer something more adventurous, there's a salmon spread recipe out there to suit your taste buds.
