Smoked Salmon Dip

I contemplate this dip a bit fancy pants as a result of the fee to make that is most likely about 2 to three instances the fee to purchase a bathtub from the grocery store. Whereas normally, I’m chirping “this recipe is higher AND cheaper than retailer purchased!”, like these copycat Gourmand Crackers which I swear is about 80% cheaper than shopping for them and I double swear that they style higher.

However on this case, the home made model prices extra.

BUT it tastes SO MUCH BETTER and it’s flavour cash can’t purchase!! In the event you’ve ever tried retailer purchased Smoked Salmon Dip, you’d know that it tastes sort of bitter and solely tastes mildly of smoked salmon. And let’s be sincere, it may possibly’t be actual as a result of actual smoked salmon must be consumed with 3 – 5 days after opening the packet.

Selfmade is made with the true factor – actual recent smoked salmon. And because of this, it actually tastes like smoked salmon. Actually actually!

Smoked salmon just isn’t the most cost effective factor on the planet, particularly should you get good high quality (Huon Salmon is my favorite – it’s definitely the freshest in Australia + sustainably farmed). So utilizing it in a dip is an efficient approach to make much less go additional as a result of when it’s blitzed up, it makes the flavour bloom so it’s far more intense than stirring chopped salmon into the dip.

HOW TO MAKE SMOKED SALMOM DIP

Along with utilizing actual smoked salmon, the opposite bursts of freshness on this dip are lemon juice and zest (lemon flavour comes from the zest, tang comes from the juice) and recent dill.

I like to make use of a mixture of cream cheese, bitter cream (to loosen up the combination a bit, I discover utilizing solely cream cheese is simply too dense) and mayonnaise (for a bit of additional richness and flavour). That is just about the identical base I exploit for all my dips.

Serve it with breadsticks, crackers or crostinis. Crostinis are tremendous straightforward to make your self – simply slice a small breadstick, brush or spray with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and bake! – Johnsat x

Ingredients

  • 200 g / 7 oz smoked salmon (or trout)
  • 200 g / 7 oz Philadelphia cream cheese , full fat
  • 1/4 cup / 55g sour cream (Note 1)
  • 1/4 cup / 60g mayonnaise (Note 1, 2)
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill , roughly chopped
  • 1/2 garlic clove , minced
  • 1 1/2 tsp lemon zest (1 lemon)
  • 1 – 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients in a food processor, starting with 1 tbsp lemon juice. Only use a small pinch of salt to start because smoked salmon is salty, also bear in mind saltiness of crackers being used.
  2. Whizz until fairly smooth – about 10 seconds on high – scraping sides as required.
  3. Adjust lemon and salt to taste. Whizz again briefly.
  4. Transfer into bowl, garnish with lemon slices and more dill if desired. Serve at room temperature with crackers – I like using melba toasts and mini crostinis.

Notes

1. These can be substituted with Greek Yoghurt for a slightly lighter version.
2. Hellman’s or S&W Whole Egg mayonnaise are my favourite.
3. Storage: Keeps for as long as the shelf life of the salmon (read packet for when it needs to be consumed once opened). After 2+ days, it may need a little freshening up with more lemon. 🙂 It firms up when refrigerated, so bring to room temperature, give it a stir then serve – it should be soft and scoopable (see video).
4. UPDATE: It dawned on me recently that this recipe is similar to a recipe I published years ago called “Easy Posh Smoked Salmon Pots or Dip”. Basically, this is the improved version I use now. Since discovering this, I have unpublished the old recipe and diverted it to this one. However, if there is anyone after the original recipe, here it is.
5. Nutrition per serving, assuming 10 servings. This recipe makes 2 cups of dip.
