Creamy Smoked Salmon Spread
It's been quite a while since I've made a smoked salmon dip, but when looking for recipes using fresh dill, I ran across this one. It's a bit different than the one I usually make but every bit as good.
I have always use a hot-smoked salmon versus the cold-smoked (lox). Someday I'm going to have to try the cold version. I found this recipe on AllRecipes but made some adjustments to suit my tastes. The recipe below is what I ended up using.
CREAMY SMOKED SALMON SPREAD (makes about 1 cup)
6 oz reduced-fat cream cheese
4 oz smoked salmon, chopped
1 1/2 Tbsp capers
1 Tbsp caper juice
1 green onion, chopped
1 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped
3 Tbsp heavy whipping cream
2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
2 drops hot pepper sauce
1/2 lemon, juiced
Process cream cheese in a food processor to soften completely. Add salmon, caper, caper juice, green onion, dill, whipping cream, Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce, and lemon juice. Process until creamy and smooth.
