Photo: Smoked Salmon Spread Recipe
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish, drained
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 pound (4 ounces) smoked salmon, minced
Directions
Cream the cheese in an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until just smooth. Add the sour cream, lemon juice, dill, horseradish, salt, and pepper, and mix. Add the smoked salmon and mix well. Chill and serve with crudites or crackers.
If you can find it, I prefer Norwegian salmon; it's drier and less salty than other smoked salmon.

The dip was well-received! I didn't have dill (fresh or dried, so I used green onion and parsley per the other reviewers' suggestions. I also did not have prepared horseradish and substituted it with Dijon mustard (about 1 teaspoon, which was good, and a little cayenne pepper to add a nice, subtle kick. I used 4 oz. smoked salmon, but agreed with some of the other reviewers that it could use more--about 2 to 4 oz. additional. Very little salt was needed as the salmon was pretty salty already. I prefer thinly sliced baguette bread instead of crackers because the bread is softer and tastes fresher. Making the dip the night before also helped bring out the flavors.

Quite delicious! I used a food processor with metal blade and substituted parsely for the dill (didn't have any, and smoked sturgeon for the salmon. Will definitely make it again.
