Looking for a high end restaurant quality recipe for a smoked salmon dip then you’ve come to the right place. This salmon dip is prepared from 4 ounces dry brine smoked salmon, capers, cream cheese, mayo, red onion, horseradish, lemon juice, pepper and dill.

Smoked Salmon Turned Into A Dip

Smoked salmon is one of my favorite meals to make because it’s such a simple recipe that takes little effort and uses very little ingredients.

I was inspired to make this dip with some of the leftover sockeye salmon that I smoked just the day before. Yes, leftover salmon makes a wonderful dip! If you’re not smoking your own salmon you can always use a cold smoked wild sockeye salmon.

Maybe you’d like to try your hand at smoking your own salmon. Try my dry brine smoked salmon recipe. It not only makes for a stunning presentation but it’s another great appetizer I like serving. Then you too could use leftovers to make this awesome smoked salmon dip.

Recipe for Smoked Salmon Dip

For this recipe I used smoked sockeye salmon. I toasted french bread slices also known as crostini’s. I also served with toasted mini bagels.

Salmon Dip Ingredients:

• 4 ounces smoked salmon (divided)
• 2 Tablespoons capers (rinsed and divided)
• 3 ounces cream cheese
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise (I use Hellmans)
• 2 Tablespoons red onion (chopped and divided)
• 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• fresh cracked pepper
• fresh dill
• Crostini’s for serving or toasted mini bagels

Salmon Dip Instructions:

Combine Partial Ingredients

In a food processor add 2 ounces smoked salmon, 1 Tablespoon capers, cream cheese, mayonnaise, 1 Tablespoon red onion, horseradish, lemon juice and process for about 25 seconds or until mixture is smooth.

Add Remaining Ingredients

Transfer salmon mixture into a medium bowl and add remaining salmon and onion and stir well.

Prepare to Serve

Place dip in a serving bowl. Top with some capers, fresh dill and freshly cracked pepper. Why not try using an electric pepper mill. I love mine! Place remaining caper in a small bowl near the salmon dip in case anyone wishes to add more capers.
