Top Tips for Smoked Salmon Dip
Try different varieties of smoked salmon! We use our smoked salmon in this recipe but feel free to use any variety of smoked salmon you’d like. Just be aware that it will alter the flavor of the dip a bit, and you may need to add more salt.
Add additional flaked salmon for garnish: We love how garnishing the top of this dip with a little extra flaked salmon adds dimension and highlights the star ingredient — salmon, of course!
Double or triple to serve a crowd: Because this smoked salmon dip only calls for 4 oz. of smoked salmon, might we recommend doubling or tripling the batch to serve a crowd? Even if you only have 8 oz. of smoked salmon, you can easily double this dip.
Storage
Store this smoked salmon dip in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
