Ingredients

Preparation Method


Start by finely chopping the smoked salmon. You want the pieces small enough to blend well with the other ingredients, but not so small that they lose their texture.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, lemon juice, dill, red onion, garlic, capers (if you're using them), and a dash of salt and pepper. Mix these ingredients together until they're well combined. This is where you start to see the flavors melding together, creating that irresistible medley of tangy, creamy, and smoky.

Add the chopped salmon to the mixture and fold it in gently. You want to make sure the salmon is well incorporated into the mix but still maintains its form. This ensures that you get that delightful burst of smoky salmon flavor in every bite.

Once everything is combined, taste the dip to check the seasoning. You might want to add a bit more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to adjust the flavor to your liking.

Cover the bowl and chill it in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This allows the flavors to really come together and intensify.

Tips and Conclusion


This dip is versatile and pairs well with a variety of sides. Serve it with some crusty bread or a selection of fresh vegetables for a lighter option. It also goes beautifully with crackers or bagel chips. If youre looking to add a gourmet touch, try serving it in a hollowed-out loaf of bread.


Preparing this Smoked Salmon Dip is a joy, and tasting it is even better.
