Easy Smoked Salmon

This perfectly tender and flakey smoked salmon is made with a simple dry rub and a yummy maple glaze making it perfect for crackers, bagels, or a salad!

Cream cheese mixture in a food processor.

How to Make Smoked Salmon Dip

Start with a Food Processor

Add the Greek yogurt, cream cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, ½ teaspoon of salt, and Worcestershire sauce to a food processor and process until smooth, combined, and creamy. Next, add the fresh dill to the food processor and pulse until combined. 

Scoop Mixture into a Bowl

Use a spatula to scrape the cream cheese mixture into a large bowl. Add the whole grain mustard, pickles, paprika, tabasco, black pepper, and ½ teaspoon of salt to the bowl and mix until combined. 

Add Salmon

Finally, add the flaked smoked salmon into the bowl and mix to combine. 

Taste & Enjoy!

Taste the smoked salmon dip and if the dip needs more salt and if so, add the remaining salt to the dip. Garnish the dip with fresh dill and serve with your favorite crackers.

Try Surrender Salmon!

Our all-time favorite salmon is Surrender Salmon. They catch wild-Alaskan salmon off of Bristol Bay in Alaska. The salmon is bright orange, so flakey and delicious, and truly the best.

Surrender Salmon is a family-run company based here in Minneapolis and they are good friends of ours! Support a local business if you can.

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.
