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.

Steps:
- Scald the thinly sliced onion twice. Just throw boiled water on it, drain, rinse with cold water, drain and repeat the process. Or leave the sliced onion soaked in salt ice water for at least 30 minutes. This will give it a smoother flavour and reduces their bitterness and pungency.
- Be sure to get high quality, sliced smoked salmon.
- Artfully arrange the smoked salmon slices along on a large serving platter.
- Spread the red onion slices over the smoked salmon slices.
- Scatter the capers over the top of the platter.
- If using, place a small bunch of dill at the top and sprinkle with the pepper.
- Arrange the lemon slices around the platter.
- Serve salmon platter with crackers and/or bread.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality smoked salmon: Look for salmon that has a vibrant color and a firm texture. Avoid salmon that appears dry or has a slimy texture.
- Use fresh dill and capers: Fresh dill and capers add a bright, herbaceous flavor to the dish. If you don't have fresh dill, you can use dried dill, but reduce the amount you use by half.
- Don't overmix the ingredients: The key to a successful smoked salmon dip is to mix the ingredients gently until they are just combined. Overmixing will make the dip too runny.
- Serve the dip immediately or refrigerate it for later: Smoked salmon dip can be served immediately or refrigerated for up to 3 days. If you refrigerate the dip, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
