Make this incredibly easy and creamy smoked salmon dip in minutes. It combines smoky salmon, cream cheese, fresh dill, and lemon for a savory appetizer that impresses guests at any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces smoked salmon, flaked
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of salt (taste first, as salmon is salty)

Instructions

  1. Place the softened cream cheese, sour cream (or yogurt), lemon juice, dill, chives, horseradish (if using), and black pepper into a medium bowl.
  2. Use an electric mixer or a sturdy spoon to beat the ingredients until they are smooth and fully combined.
  3. Gently fold in the flaked smoked salmon using a spatula. Mix just until the salmon is distributed; avoid overmixing to keep some texture.
  4. Taste the dip and add a pinch of salt if needed.
  5. Cover the bowl and chill the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Serve cold with crackers, bagel chips, cucumber slices, or vegetable sticks.

Notes

  • For a Keto Friendly Salmon Dip, serve only with low-carb vegetables like celery or bell pepper strips.
  • You can make this dip up to 24 hours ahead of time. Keep it covered in the refrigerator.
  • For an elegant presentation, garnish the top with a sprinkle of extra dill and a few capers before serving.
