Description

This incredible Smoked Salmon Dip is the ultimate appetizer to whip up whenever you’re entertaining, having a chill weekend at home, and anything in between. If you love smoked salmon, this flavor-loaded salmon dip is a must-make. It’s super easy to bring together, full of pantry staples, fresh herbs, and more. Enjoy this seafood dip with crackers and/or veggies or spread it over a slice of toasted sourdough!


Ingredients

  • 14 ounces smoked salmon
  • 1 celery stalk, finely diced
  • 1 small shallot, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons smooth dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon non-pareil capers
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped chives
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped dill
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped tarragon
  • Zest + juice of 1 lemon
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper- to taste


Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the smoked salmon, diced celery + shallot, mayonnaise, sour cream, dijon mustard, capers, fresh chopped chives, dill, and tarragon along with the lemon zest + lemon juice, garlic powder and salt/pepper- to taste. Use a fork to break up the salmon and stir the mixture well to thoroughly combine. Give the mixture a taste test and adjust with more salt/pepper, as desired.
  2. Transfer the smoked salmon dip into an airtight container and then keep stored in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 30 minutes. This gives the smoked salmon dip a little time for the flavors to meld. 
  3. Serve this smoked salmon dip alongside crackers or chips of choice and/or vegetables. We also love this dip smeared on toast as a delicious snack/lunch option, too! Enjoy!
