Smoked Salmon Dip
Creamy smoked salmon spread.
Jump to RecipeThis creamy dip showcases smoked salmon beautifully - the smoke flavor carries through the creamy base with dill and capers adding traditional accents. It's an elegant appetizer that comes together quickly.
This is perfect for parties, holiday gatherings, or entertaining guests. It can be made ahead and keeps well, making it stress-free for the host.
Serve with crackers, crostini, cucumber slices, or endive leaves for scooping. A selection of different crackers lets guests customize. Keep it chilled until serving.
Quality smoked salmon makes a difference - hot smoked or cold smoked both work but give slightly different textures. Fresh dill is worth seeking out. Taste before adding extra salt - the salmon is already salty.
Let the cream cheese come to room temperature for easier mixing. The dip benefits from chilling for at least an hour before serving - the flavors meld together. It keeps for several days refrigerated.
